Hello Friends,
It's the 1st of May and time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up, which I am hosting and challenging you to Use a Stencil and blend ink colours of the Rainbow. I used Papertrey Ink's In the Meadow die to make a stencil. I blended Tim Holtz Distress Inks with my Make Up brushes and then used Simon Says Falling Snow Stencil over the top. After die cutting the Birds I coloured them with the different distress ink colours and a Copic marker on the branch and mounted them with a black silhouette to give them more dimension. I finished off with the Sentiment stamped in Black ink and repeated my steps for the inside.
Thanks for your visit today, lovely to see you here.
Hugs,

Stunning...no other words fit this gorgeous card. The lovely, colorful wave stenciling is exceptional. Mounting the birds on a silhouette is a genius idea to make them pop. Your card is simply brilliant.
