B for Beautiful




 A quick mid month reminder of our January challenge at
The theme is 
Something Beginning with B or 
Anything Goes. 
The prize is a Visible Image stamp set and  co-ordinating stencil.

I used  a design paper from Aall & Create, a 'Beautiful' word die from MFT and the same stamp from 
Visible Image as on my previous card for this challenge, stamping the image first then using the die and piecing it all back together- a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle, stamped the rest of the sentiment and adding some green glossy dots.

As always, there's loads of inspiration over at Stamping Sensations so head on over to take a look.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy the rest of the weekend.

  20. The pieced‑together sentiment looks incredible against that bold Aall & Create background. The silhouette image feels perfectly at home in those inky tones, and the whole design has such strong movement and energy. A brilliant take on the letter B theme and a beautifully balanced composition.
