The Black Dahlia


It's new challenge time at

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.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges
As you like it - Simple (shows of your image most)
Stencil Fun - Stencils
Make my Monday - Monotone
Triple B - Blooms
