Not just for birthdays!


 Good morning- hope everyone here in the UK is getting their share of sunshine! It's been a very hot week here, bit of a surprise coming so early in the year...and over a bank holiday too. Enjoy it while it lasts :)

There's a new challenge at Fab'n' Funky, the theme for this fortnight is to

USE A STENCIL AND/OR EMBOSSING FOLDER.

I used an A&C stencil and DOIs to colour a square of white card, cut a circle from the centre and ran the rest through my Big Shot using a Lisa Horton water droplets EF. I stamped the image and sentiment (A &C) onto the circular piece, then stamped the image again onto white card, coloured with my markers, cut it out and adhered in place. I added the die cuts and gems and finished with a doodled border.

There's more inspiration for you over at F'n'F, hope you can join us this fortnight.

Thanks for visiting

Chris

Your stenciled and embossed design is so vibrant and full of energy, and the way you combined the water droplets folder with the bold colors and layered stamping creates such a lively background while the sweet image and doodled border pull everything together into a bright, cheerful card.

Splendid card! I love the funky image and the abundance of texture. The die cuts are a subtle but match the composite so well. Thank you so much for joining us at the Addicted to Stamps & More challenge!
