Here we have the granddaughters having some beach cricket fun with mum and pa - this week we took a break during the school holidays for a few days and even though the weather wasn't brilliant the girls had a wonderful time.
My card today is showcasing the use of a stencil.... on our return from our little holiday there was a lovely surprise from a special friend in the post... this fabulous leafy stencil ... I used a brush to blend ink over the stencil along one side of white card and then used a white gel pen to trace freehand around the leaves and then added rows of dots. I stamped the sentiment, attached the panel to a matching card and to finish added a scattering of white Nuro Crystal drops.
I am playing along with CAS Mix Up July challenge - Stencil Tracing
Thanks for stopping by my blog --- have a Happy Day and stay safe

How nice that you got to spend some time with your family, Robyn! It looks like you had a wonderful time! Love the Fall colored leaves! Adding the dots as well as the outline makes this stenciled image even better!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful gradation for the outline stencilling and those dots add such the perfect embellishment. The tone on tone matting was the perfect combo for this soft magical card. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
