Our challenge this time is to use a stencil on our BIRTHDAY CARD for SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE! Cathy chose our topping this time, and if you don't want to play along with the topping you are always welcome to make any kind of birthday card!
I used Pinkfresh Studios Slimline Diamond Builder Stencil for my background
Pinkfresh Studio: Happy Blooms stamp, stencil & die!!
The Greetery: sentiment: Birthday Blooms
I really went bold this time, I am usually a bit more CAS with my cards, but I sure had fun playing with the diamond builder stencil and made quite a few backgrounds. And I found it was fun to use even one color, just with a light hand to start and then get darker as you use each new stencil. Very fun to experiment with different colors and using only one or two!
