Stencilled background

 


I'm hosting the challenge at Allsorts this week and it's Anything goes with my optional challenge of "Create your own background".

I love this CC stencil and you will have seen me use it before. So many combinations to make a striking pattern are possible. I also have some of these aperture cards and thought it would be good to use the giant sentiment over it on the outside, with the pattern visible through it.

here it is open

view when closed

and one final look!



Our prizes for April ...

I'm also entering this card into the April stencil challenge for patterns at Stencil Fun Challenge.
