Seize the Birthday #304 Shirley Stenciling


The second challenge in April for STB is hosted by Shirley and she would like us to use stenciling on our cards.  I love stenciling as it makes such pretty cards without having to color.  Come join the team and build up your Birthday Stash.  

I used Gina K's, Dazzling Dahlia stencil and her inks.  The frame is ML #14, the postage layout.  

Our "Topping" option this time is...




If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just

stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!


Leslie is our Surprise Party Guest for one last time and she has posted some amazing cards.  


Thanks for stopping by.

You sure know how to rock coloring with a stencil, Lin! You did a professional job with this blossom and I love how the die breaks it up ... like looking out the window at the garden! Hugs, Darnell

I have been playing with my postage stamp die recently and now you have inspired me with some new ideas. You and Gina K know what you are doing with the thin black border. It is stunning.

This is the exact card I want to make with the new Rose Stencil from SSS. Of course I would need to buy it first, LOL. I think you have sealed the deal. Gorgeous job!

This is some amazing stenciling, Linda! So pretty in the postage frame. I'd like to stencil like you when I grow up. It's been wonderful being the Surprise Party Guest these last two months!

Wow, what a beautiful stenciled rose on the postage die cut. The black mat makes it pop even more. Fabulous card Linda.

I am in love with that die you've used Linda...straight onto the wish list. The stencilled bloom is perfect on it!

I love this!!! Especially how you placed the postage panel on black cardstock. So striking! I need to revisit my postage dies.

I don't have any of these postage layout sets but I absolutely love the look of them - such a beautiful card! Great colour combination. The sentiment goes perfectly with the flower.
