Something beginning with 'B'


 Good morning, the January challenge at Stamping Sensations starts today,
 the theme is 'Something beginning with B' or Anything Goes (as long as there is visible stamping!)
The prize is a Visible Image stamp and co-ordinating stencil.

My 'B's are bricks, blots and border stamp.
I used a VI Distressed Brick stencil  and brightly coloured Distress Oxides to create the background then stamped the girl from the Tomorrow Doesn't Exist set. I added a few extra blots and randomly  stamped a Uniko border stamp here and there. the sentiment was stamped separately onto white card, cut out and adhered in place.

Please hop over to Stamping Sensations to enjoy the beautiful creations from the rest of the team, and for full details of how to join in with our challenges.
Thanks for visiting

Great idea creating the wall in multi colours Chris, allows the focal silhouette image to really pop from the card.

Sobeatiful Chris.
Love the bricks as background. And a lovely stamp you've used.

Lisa said...

The multicoloured brick background is such a striking way to frame the silhouette, and the extra blots and border stamping add so much energy. The contrast between the vivid wall and the bold figure gives the whole design a really dynamic feel, and the cut‑out sentiment sits perfectly against all that texture.

Hi, the card is beautiful, very rock, the pastel colors of the background contrast perfectly with the black image. Simply adorable, congratulations. Thanks for participating in the Polkadoodles Cardmaking Challenge. Tatiana x DT
