You're Special

Hello there! Welcome to my Blog.

How often do you make a card for a specific challenge,

leave it overnight then finish it off the next day

 and then find out it is suitable for another?

Doesn't happen to me very often but this card did just that.

It's for the Cool Colours Challenge

at the CAS Watercolour Blog

and the CAS Stencil Challenge using a

New or Never Before Used Stencil

This card was started specifically for the WC Challenge

but after looking at how plain the front was I thought it

needed a little something - hence the random stenciling

(I know it's only an itsy bitsy bit)

with white texture paste. It's

Tim Holtz - THS102 Layering Stencil

and purchased just before Christmas after I saw

a girlfriend use it - and had to have.

This was when I decided to add it to the Stencil Challenge above.

Thistle image is from Lavinia Stamps, heat embossed in black

 and coloured with Lindy's Magical's in 

Witch's Potion Purple and Cathedral Pines Green.

I cut out the front with MFT Peek a Boo square die

 and went my merry way and popped it to my Thistle 

forgetting that I hadn't added 

my STAMPlorations sentiment - bummer. 

That meant I needed to die cut it

just in case my stamping didn't turn out.

Adhered it to white card base.

I will keep this card and give it to my sister

for her birthday in a few months time.

I'll be back before the end of the month to 

play again and with more stenciling lol.

Happy 1st Birthday to CAS Stencil Challenge

Where did that 12 months go?

Congratulations Loll and everyone involved 

over the past year. You have done an amazing job

and  I am sure we will see you around for

so many more encouraging us to

put our stencils to good use. 

Thanks Bunches!
