more stencils at countryview crafts

Good morning lovelies! Well another day has dawned and today its my job to bring you a little inspiration for the challenge over at countryviewchallenges where the theme is to use a stencil. There is the usual challenge plus this month Susan is offering a prize for a blog hop - if you go here you can get all the details of how to enter both.

So today I have a card I have made for a friend from drama, Neil. Its his birthday on Saturday - I think I'm pretty safe posting it here - I know he doesn't look at my blog .... or even know that I have one! Lol!!!

Okay so this is what we're heading for .... and this is how I made it .....

I started by brayering three colours of fresco paint onto a piece of A4 card ...

Once dry I started to add some clocks using a layering-stencil---clockwork from Tim Holtz. I used snowflake acrylic white fresco paint through the stencil.

Next I added some words using layering-stencil---traveler also from Tim Holtz.

Next I cut the piece of card I wanted to use and stamped on stampers-anonymous-tim-holtz---evolution stamp and also used the stampers-anonymous-tim-holtz--newsprint--stamp. I stamped in potting soil archival ink.

Next I used thinlits-die-set-22pk---gearhead-by-tim-holtz to cut out the corner and also some cogs.

I added these to the card and layered up!

I do hope this card is appreciated! And I hope you can join us at countryview challenges by using a stencil and also joining our blog hop!

Big Hugs
