This is my first time submitting to Time Out and this challenge is caseing Karen Dunbrook.
Karen's cards are always an inspiration to me and I have learned many techniques that she so graciously explains. For this card I stenciled a Christmas tree but that is not how I am using it. The stamped sentiment says "try something new" and that is what I am doing using the tree just as a shape. I did not want a Christmas card, just a stenciled shape with a bold sentiment. I used two colors of distress ink and Versafine and trimmed the focus piece and attached to the base card.
Stencil - Artplorations "Christmas Trees"
Distress Ink - Peeled Paint, Crushed Olive and VersaFine
Stamp - Unity "enjoy, explore, believe"
Paper - Michael's white card stock
Welcome to Time Out, we are pleased you found our challenge. Fabulous to see Karen inspired you to try something new and love how it turned out. Your sponging looks grea and the sentiment stamped over the stencil is really bold. Hope to see you again at TO
