The Black Dahlia

It's new challenge time at

The Crafty Catz Challenge.

The theme now is 

Anything Goes

I'm still very much in the mood for stencils, so here is another one. This one is the Dahlia stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils. For this one I've used black and white stencil paste. More black paste so the white paste has just given the petals a white edge. I will admit that this was a happy accident, I had wanted it to be a more mottled effect, but I'm quite happy how it turned out. Next time I will try more white and less black paste. To finish it off I've quite simply with black and silver card layers and a happy birthday stamp.

Well the new challenge at

the Critter Crazy challenge

is no joke.

The theme is use a critter

and make it the focal point of your card please. 

This one is quite simple really. I've use the Mechanical Cat stencil from Sweet Poppy stencils, and it's in the sale at half price right now. I've used pearlescent white paste and let it dry. The just layered with silver mirror card and a check patterned paper. The sentiment has been stamped and embossed with white powder.
