Stencilled and Layered Stamping Tree

A very quick post to share a couple of cards I made  last week. My arm/shoulder are still playing up, so I shouldn't be on the computer, but my left hand is getting quite quick at one finger typing!



I cut a stencil with Silhouette, and stamped Hero Arts Friends background, then layered some flourishes from Kaisercraft English Rose stamp set using Shabby Shutters Distress Ink. Then I sponged over the stamping, with the stencil still in place and then went over that with Pan Pastel gold.  The stars are from Winnie & Walter Big Bang Confetti.
I'm entering this in the Craft Stamper Take it Make it challenge (use non christmas stamps) and the Merry Monday challenge(Green, Red and white)

ETA: I'm also entering this card in the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge which is all about stamping. Also entering the Moxie Fab World Tree-mendous Tree challenge.

This is how I did the tree


This next card was made with a stencil, which is actually a  gorgeous Christmas Decoration and Color Shine Spray.


I'm entering this in the City Crafter Challenge,  Just a Word - which is to use a one word Sentiment. 
ETA: I'm also entering this in the Time Out Challenge - the theme is embossing with a twist of adding sparkle. 
I've included dry embossing and sparkle from the Color Shine sparay.

  5. I'm obsessed with triangles so just love your triangle embossing, its fantastic! And like the colours you used in the middle with the deer, such an amazing effect. Hope your feeling better soon (so hard to type with one hand!) and very glad you were able to join us at TIME OUT!
