Stencil Fun Challenge (7/25) - Your Flag Colors

 Hello Everyone!

It's time for another fun challenge over on our Stencil Fun Challenge!

Remember, this challenge is all about using your STENCILS.
We are a MONTHLY challenge that begins on the FIRST TUESDAY of each month.
Theme will always be ANYTHING GOES USING STENCILS but we will also offer an OPTIONAL theme.

Here is the OPTIONAL theme chosen for this month:
 
Your FLAG COLORS
 

 
 This card was created by simply stenciling pieces & parts of a Stamperia stencil using Tim Holtz Prize Ribbon and Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks and sponge daubers.
 
 
 
 
For my second card (Anything Goes),


The stencils I've used for this card are OLD .. OLD .. OLD!  It's a Martha Stewart set I can't even begin to remember where I bought them!  But this is what the packaging looks like.
 

 I used two of the stencils from this pack for my flowers and then used the My Favorite Things 'Cloud Stencil' for my background clouds.  An old Cheery Lynn Designs (no longer in business) FENCE die  was used to anchor the scene.

Simon Says Stamp! My Favorite Things CLOUD Mix-ables Stencil MFT ST99

Hopefully you'll get those stencils out and have some fun with us.
We won't always have a prize but periodically we will, you just never know!
We do have a Top 3 and a Top winner and it could be YOU!
 
Please come join us and GOOD LUCK!!
As always . . .
 

Four Seasons Challenge - Summer (7/2025)

 


Hello Friends

Over at the Four Seasons Challenge Blog, we are ready for a change in seasons! 
This months theme is:

Anything Goes - Summer

check out this fabulous inspiration board we have created to help inspire you . . .


 I was inspired by several things in our Inspiration Board ...
The colors of the ice cream cone, the Palm Trees and the Flamingos.
I put them all together and this is the card I came up with.

I have used Tombow markers for the background color swatches.
Sentiment stamp is an old Stampendous stamp set called 'SeaSide Chair'.
