STENCILED WATERCOLOR BACKGROUNDS

Happy Saturday!

I had some time to try a stencil from the Post & Parcel Kit.

I used the snow stencil to make some watercolored confetti:

I stamped 'Celebrate' from Celebrate Big and gave it a water wash so it looked watercolored. Then I punched out some balloons and watercolored them. String and clear sequins finished the cards off.

We are crafting this morning and have a bee field trip this afternoon!

Have a wonderful day!

MAKE IT MONDAY #280

STAMPING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX

Lexi gave us a design basic and how the ideas started flying. You could use this idea with almost any stamp set and of course I had so many ideas and so little time =)

I challenged myself to use a stamp set I hadn't used in a while and got one card done.

Made a 'box' using Chevron Stripes. Then added a car and sentiment from Need for Speed. 

I added a die cut chevron scrap from Clipsters...so fun when you can use those scraps!

Have a great evening,

Noelle
