Hello,
Welcome to our first 'official' 2024 Inkspirational Challenge #307 - Use Stencils. We've also included an optional twist to use more than one stencil and/or layering stencils. Given the plethora of stencils we see, this should be easy-peasy!
I finally opened a set of Taylored Expressions' Landscape Calendars that I've had since late October! Nothing like using new products 'right away'! Sheesh...and these aren't the only things awaiting attention! Anyway - my sister-in-law needs a bunch of birthday cards and I figured these would make a nice collection for her (I have more ideas for a second batch). If she chooses, she can personalize them by circling the birthdates of the people receiving them.
A variety of stencils - both single and layered - from assorted companies came out to play: Uniko, STAMPlorations, Funky Fossil Designs, Scrapbook.com, Taylored Expressions and a couple more. These took a while to make, but I'm pleased with the results. Still need to add them to mini slimline bases but figured I'd share 'as they are' for this challenge.
Looking forward to seeing your stencil sensations in the gallery!
