September stencilling

Good evening, folks!

Today I have a simple card that I made for a friend's birthday (tomorrow, and I haven't even posted it yet).  I used a stencil that I've had for ages and I think have only used once before.  Saying that, I absolutely love it, because it has a gorgeous pattern of leaves (love anything with a pretty leaf on it!) and it is so open to many possibilities for a card.  I think it is a Concord & 9th stencil but I'm not 100% sure.  I'm entering this card into the challenge at As You Like It, which calls for a stencil and reasons why we love it.

I used some Distress Inks for this card, following the challenge colours at Colour Throwdown #610 - Barn Door, Wild Honey, Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs. 

The stamped sentiments are also from a Concord & 9th set (I never keep the packaging so I can't say what it is).

I'm also going to enter this into the challenge over at CASology week 373 - September.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you have a great weekend!

At the edge of the beach

Hi folks! I hope you’re all well. 

Today I’m sharing a card that I made for AAA Cards Challenge #171 which is this...

I've been practising my colouring and was playing around with my new Copics and I really wanted to colour this lovely image from Sheepski.  I'm only a novice with copic colouring and the key seems to be practice, practice, practice!  I just wanted something that looked colourful and fun!  I stencilled the sun's rays with Distress Ink but I think I've placed it wrongly.  I was just trying to have white space while adding an extra bit of detail.  Hope you like it anyway.  

Thank you for popping by today!
