STB #304 Stenciling

Shirley Is the hostess for this next challenge at Seize the Birthday. I really when overboard with the stenciling! Not a surprise! I stenciled the background and the panel. I wish that I had used less ink the background, but I am anxious to see what you do. This is an opportunity to add to your collection of birthday cards. 

Remember if you are not into toppings, just make sure it is a birthday card. 


But ifs you use the topping, you may have a chance to be a guest designer on our next challenge. 



Here is my example for you. 

\

Supplies for this card are:
Gina K Master Layouts 2, Fancy Floral Layering Stencil bundle
Moonlit Fog ink on the background stencil
A script stamp from my stash
Gina K inks
Grass Green, Lovely Lavendar, Wild Lillac 
White and Black Gina K card stock
Greeting is Radiant Roses Greeting
