Virginia's View Challenge #2 - Stencils

Thank you for another challenge, Virginia. The challenge can be found by clicking here.

I don't have any stencils (not even one) or a die cutting machine, so I had to see what I had to use for this challenge, because I am determined to take part each month. I came across some ready cut paper-dies which Sue had sent me and used a circle with a fancy edge which I just distressed over the top with Antique Linen and it left the white space.


It is a very simple card. I used distress markers to ink up this Hero Arts Rose and thought it gave a vintage kind of look, so I added a French Bonjour sentiment. Once I had stamped the rose, I stamped over it again to get some movement.

  1. What a beautiful soft looking card Jacqueline. I love that you stamped it twice to give it a soft look of movement. Nicely done. Good luck in Virginia's Challenge?

  2. You've WOWED me again, Jacqueline! I love that use of diecut as it is just perfect! I hope that you explore diecut as stencils more, so we can be inspired! The multiple stampings of the flowers are breath-taking also... Thanks for playing Virginia's View Challenge!
