Happy Thursday everyone!!
I have my As You Like It Challenge piece today and, I don't mind admitting, it was a bit of a head scratcher when I saw the theme...Stencil (See further down this post!!) Then I remembered that when The Craft Barn closed I took advantage of the huge discounts and had a spend on things that would stretch my imagination a little. Among those purchases was a Tim Holtz Poinsettia layered stencil, so armed with that and some distress inks I did this....
...and although I say so myself, I think it's a pretty good effort from a cute image, alcohol marker obsessed crafter!!
EDIT...When I came to post my card I realized that the theme is now Anything Goes
and what a right twit I feel!! I blame it on too much Christmas spirit ( that would be the gin then!!)
I hope that you will join in!!
I am unlikely to post again before Christmas so while I am here I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued visits, support and lovely comments over the past year. I know blogging is not quite so popular as it was, due to the other platforms available, but it's still a community that I enjoy very much and will continue to do so as long as you are there to share it with me. All that remains is for me to wish you all a Peaceful and Happy Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
See you on the other side of the festivities!! xx

I used to be a Tutor at the Craft Barn and did some heavy buying when they were selling up. They hope to move up to where I live next year. Your card is stunning and the colouring is fantastic. A definite 'WOW' card! Have a wonderful Christmas and a great 2019. Big hugs, Carol S.xxxx

Despite the mix up, I LOVE your stencil card Sarah. Have a lovely Christmas and I'll catch you on the other side! xxxx
ReplyDeleteWell, Sarah, at least your stencil theme fits perfectly in the "AG" theme and you've stretched your design skills in a beautiful way! I would never guess that you weren't a seasoned stenciler, that's how gorgeous your blending is and your choice of gold was brilliant! 🎄Happy Christmas and Holiday Hugs, Darnell
