One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Seize the Birthday Nov 5 NO topping

Time for another challenge and this time there is NO TOPPING!  
I randomly sponged on some fine linen ink over a new stencil from MFT (new to me!) called Wonky chevrons.  My stamps are from Vintage Linen, the leaves are PTI: Leave it Be.
the sentiment is from Altenew: Label Love
I really love the look of the black background with white sentiment.  In this case the paper is white and everything else is black ink! (versus using embossing powder!)

 
Thanks for taking a look and for making a birthday card and linking it up to the Challenge!
