Stenciled Birthday Card ~ Color Dare #570

I just love this color combo so much I had to make another sample for our color challenge! For the challenge you must use at least 3 of the colors shown in the graphic. See the graphic for the fine print rules.

We reference Close To My Heart colors but you can use any brand you have as long as you can make a very close match. Kind of close doesn't count. Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge click here for the direct link to Color Dare #570. 

Again I got out some of our new stencils I haven't used yet and put them to work. I love the lacy look of this design. I used all 4 of the colors in the challenge for this card. Starting with Ballerina I inked the center then Glacier around that and finally Journey around the outside edge. You'll find Mink in the mat and sentiment. Adding some Journey sequins added a nice bit of sparkle. The sentiment is popped up on foam for some dimension. Placing the sequins is easy with the Pick-up Tool. Use a pencil sharpener to get the tip started (not to a point like a pencil though). Then gently use it to pick up sequins or whatever else is hard to pick up with your fingers!

The stamp set is part of our National Stamping Month Special - Say It with Style. This Special ends on October 31st so be sure to check it out now!
