Happy Birthday

Hello -

I finally feel like I am getting back into the swing of things despite my crazy vampire hours.

Tonight's card is for two challenges - CAS Stencil celebrating their first birthday and Seize the Birthday who wants a stencil used on our cards.



I used a new to me stencil from Pretty Pink Posh...I got it in the fall be neglected to ink it up until now.  Its a lovely leafy pattern and should work year round.  I used distress inks in mowed lawn, iced spruce, and mermaid lagoon. I applied color with a makeup brush.

   

Thanks for visiting.

Really pretty stenciling and I do love the color of the cardstock instead of using white.
