Happy Little Stampers: Stencils

At Happy Little Stampers, we are onto the August Stencil Challenge! As always, as long as a stencil has been used, anything else goes!

Last month, my friend Emily hosted the Canada Day video hop, and as soon as I watched her work her magic with a Pigment Craft Co. stamp and layering stencil set, I knew it had to come and live at my house, too. Here's my very first time using it:

First try, and I love the results! I started by stamping the background stamp in black, then got to work with the stencils. There are five different stencils to layer with, but for the last stencil, I actually used two different colours (I wanted to make the berries red), so I have six different colours going on here. For the sentiment, I happened to already have this one stamped and die cut, so it was an easy finish to the card. 

Since my stamp and stencils saw ink for the first time with this card, I'm adding it to Darnell's August NBUS challenge. 

Beautiful inspiration from my stencil teammates on the HLS challenge blog! I hope you will grab a stencil and join us.
