I am intrigued by the challenge at CAS Stencil for October. The challenge is to stencil on patterned paper which I have never done! :) Since I am in full Halloween card making mode, I wanted to give it a try. I'll definitely try stenciling on patterned paper again since I was pleased with the results. :) I used stencils from Hampton Art which came with a stamp set. The "spooky" die cut was done with my Silhouette Cameo (#4180 Spooky from the Silhouette Design Store). Before adhering the die cut, I created a border by hand with a black Copic pen. I added a couple of googley eyes to the die cut for the finishing touch. Easy peasy or should I say clean and simple. ;) My spooky skull is going to link up at:
Even though I haven't blogged in several days, I have been busy making Halloween cards. My youngest daughter and I have been crafting together and having the most fun. I think Halloween cards are my favorite ones to make. :) Both of us are going to be mailing lots of Halloween cards this year. Plus I bought the new Halloween postal stamps so even our stamps are going to match the envelopes! (Wink.) Thanks for stopping by and remember to stay crafty! :)
This IS a fun card, especially with the stencilled paper and that awesome diecut sentiment! So happy you and your daughter are enjoying crafting together too! Thanks so much for playing with my challenge and sharing this with the Players this week!
