HLS Stencil Challenge

I am delighted to now be part of the Happy Little Stampers Stencil team. This is my first card for the challenge which is Anything Goes.

 


I pulled out a Clarity Stamp stencil which I think I've only ever used once before. I sponged in Speckled Egg and Tattered Rose distress inks. Then I wished I'd used something a bit brighter! But after a rummage through my Clarity stamps I found these two, both unused!

After a bit of trial and error on some scrap paper I finally settled on using Versafine Clair Purple Delight for stamping. I added a mat of matching purple metallic card and some rhinestones to finish it off.Once finished it looked better than I thought it was going to, but I still wish I'd used brighter colours for the stencilling.
I hope you'll join in the fun this month and check out all the inspiration from my fellow team mates.

Hurry up warm weather, we are 15 this morning and only going to get colder as the week progresses with more snow tonight and into the week.
