Hey crafty friends! So hard to believe that it's getting towards the end of April. Spring has arrived here on the west coast of Canada... I'm just hoping it sticks around. Gotta' hate 'fake spring' - lol!
Shirley has picked stencils as the topping for us this week at Seize the Birthday. I used a new-to-me stencil from Lavinia (with 2 different white inks) and also a new-to-me Spellbinders foil plate (shout out to my local-ish craft store - Crafty Capers - where a purchased these). Confession: I made a card for this challenge back in January but looked at it earlier this week and thought "uh nope". Haha. I'm not sure if this counts as 'bokeh'? Oh well, even if not, pretty happy with how this turned out.
Be sure to head over to
the blog to check out the stunning creations from the rest of the team, our Surprise Party Guest
Leslie and previous winner
Claire! Hope you can play along with us - using the topping isn't mandatory but I think the "challenge-chooser" gets an extra warm fuzzy when you do (I know I do!).
Always so grateful for the comments. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a terrific day and a wonderful upcoming weekend.
Take care,
Glenda
