STAMPlorations ARTplorations Stencil Hop - Part 1 - OCTOBER 8

Hello,

First, Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian visitors. Hope your day is filled with happiness, gratitude, joy...and a fabulous meal shared with the special people in your lives.

Today, I'm joining the STAMPlorations gals to celebrate the launch of the newest, exclusive, trendy Sanna Lippert Designs stencils.  Her designs have wide appeal: perfect for those of us who are, like me, 'simple stencil folk,' those who love to dabble with mixed media art forms and everyone who falls in between. Whatever your style, Sanna's stencils will fit to a 't'.  With that as an introduction:

Welcome to the 

STAMPlorations Sanna Lippert Designs ARTplorations Stencil Hop, Part 1, October 8. 

All of Sanna's stencils can be found here.
Sanna's incredible creativity with her stencils can be found here (sneak peeks) and here. Please visit; you'll be awe-mazed by her artistry.

Soooo, following my 'simple stencil' technique, I've created three cards that see Sanna's stencils as the 'star of the stage.

Card 1: We were enveloped with a heavy snowfall on the day this card was made; all I could see in the the design was snowflakes *grin*, so...I went with it! Triple sentiment and yes, the song that accompanies said phrase was definitely running through my thoughts. Bet you're humming it now, too!

Card 2: Watching the snow fall and fall and fall - blech! - I decided to go the 'polar' (sorry, had to...) opposite, to create a rainbow (warmer!) version. This phrase is one of my favourites - a card that will go to my sweet niece.

Card 3: Of course, a card for my niece also means a card for my nephew. I was aiming for 'super hero' colours in my ink choices with this very cool Convallaria stencil.  The sentiment: Yep! He is definitely fantastic!  

(Hmmm...I see cool Halloween background potential here, too. May have to give that a whirl...)
