Ok so this is the first challenge I tried after getting Covid and I totally read the instructions wrong, but I thought I would share these anyway. We were supposed to cut out a shape from a scrap piece of paper the same size as our card to make a stencil to stamp inside, I got that part right, but then we were supposed to stencil inside of that opening and also stamp, so when you take off the stencil you made your stamping is in the shape of the die you used for your opening. I hope I explained that understandably for you.
For my first card I used a stamp set that has many stamps to make your own scene. I chose 6 different stamps in this set to make my scene, then colored in with markers and sponged in the sky.
- Spellbinders - Labels 29 die
- Stampendous - Meadows Edge stamp set (I used 6 stamps to make the scene) color w/markers
- Distress ink - Tumbled glass applied with foam applicator
Then after looking back at her example I was thinking maybe I should have done it differently so I got out my peg stamps and did another one. Yep still didn't use a stencil on the inside.
- Spellbinders - Labels 4 die
- Rubberstamptapestry - Butterfly Blooms stamps (6)
- Mama Elephant - Blessed sentiment stamp
I did not right down any of the inks I had used, by this time I was just getting way too tired.
So I am sharing because this is a neat idea for a one layer card to stamp inside of a shape that you have masked off.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
Connie

Both are beautifully done.
These came out gorgeous Connie! Whether you followed the instructions to the "T" or not, they turned out beautiful.
Well never mind the Challenge then lol These are pretty! That meadow card reminds me of where we stayed in Wales--magical! And I love that different shaped wreath of pretty posies you created! Happy Easter!
Well, they sure are pretty cards and I don't mind one bit that you did them wrong. I'm just glad you shared them!
Great work Connie. That scene is absolutely fantastic!! Love your colour choices. You explained it well.
Two great one layer cards. I really love the flowers on the second card.
both are beautiful, perhaps you invented something new???
Two gorgeous cards anyway Connie, considering you were working with a covid brain [as my daughter likes to tell me that she has to,] love the first scene and the wreathe is gorgeous, love the colours..
Luv CHRISSYxx
They are both beautiful, Connie xoxo
