Orange Leaves

I'm the host this week for the new

Crafty Catz Challenge.

Our challenge is now

Anything Goes

For my inspiration card this week I've gone back to something I haven't done for a while. Using my Sweet Poppy stencil, this one is called Ginko Leaves, I have used glossy white paste through the stencil on craft card. Then left it to dry over night.

Then I have used alcohol pens and coloured over the top of the paste in some of my favourite orange shades. I've then created a few layers using toning orange and brown card. There is a matching knotted ribbon to decorate and a happy birthday stamped sentiment.

New month new challenge at 

The Critter Crazy challenge.

It is always Anything Goes

but please make a critter the focal point of your card.

I've used 3 different stencils from Sweet Poppy Stencils for this card. To start with I taken the circle aperture to put the initial colour through. Then with the Torn Rectangle I've added extra texture to the colour. Next, having removed the stencils, the small Stampscape trees have been stamped either side of the circle. When all the ink is nice and dry I've taken the bird stencil and pasted it with black paste.
