Happy Tuesday! Today the challenge word that inspired my card was STENCILS and I was excited as I just got some new ones from Vicki Boutin recently. I'm such a fan of her colorful work and this Wild Soul Stencil from the Storyteller collection is the first product I finally got my hands on... I didn't even notice it was a set of three! (I also got the 6x8 paper pad for some quick creations!). I follow Vicki on Facebook and she often does tutorials, so I went looking for a fun stencil technique. You can find the video I used as my inspiration on October 1- it's a fun one.
So I started with the technique she shared using Distress Ink, a stencil and a bunch of water on a smaller scale since I was working with cards instead of scrapbook page. Once it was ready, I trimmed it down to size and then as I was contemplating my card (and the SNOW my hometown in BC got yesterday!) I added a layer of snowflakes using this great stencil by Paper Rose.
This background has almost a tie-die feel to it... which I'm not sure is something I've ever seen with snowflakes before, but I kinda like it! Hope you do too :)
Inky hugs,
Tara
