Here is the OPTIONAL theme chosen for this month:

For my second card (Anything Goes), 
 

 I had a lot of fun with this one!  I used the Ciao Bella 'Fishbone' stencil for my background.  Coloring it as thought it where a brick wall that has patina'd over time by using 3 different TH distress oxide inks.  I then inked up a scrap of white card stock using another TH distress oxide green ink and die cut my ivy and birthday sentiment.  Inking a little extra green on the leaves and sentiment for dimension.  Prima flowers & Nuvo crystal drops were used for the floral accents.

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 . . .
