CAS Stencil Mid Month Reminder

Half way time at the challenge at CAS Stencil and the theme this month has been chosen by the lovely Nancy who's set us  the task of  'Use A New Stencil'
I bought this stencil last year and it's never been out of the packet -😏 in fact there's a few in there that have never been exposed to daylight so I have promised myself that I will systematically start to use them!

This stamp was a mag freebie - again from last year- (or was it the year before??)
Another item in this craftie space that is still in its cellophane and hasn't been manhandled by me.
I think the expression on the gull is priceless! He looks quite stern and fed up sat on his wooden posts.

Stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut before tucking him behind the framed wave stencil. 

I thought this was another suitable 'man' card  - which I desperately need in my stash

There's bags of wonderful inspiration over on the CAS Stencil blog and I know my teamies would really appreciate a visit and a comment if you have time.
Hope too that you will make something with a stencil and show your creation in our gallery - because
 
ITS OUR FIRST BIRTHDAY!! 
So we're celebrating and have a prize on offer this month!

What you waiting for?????

I love the stencil with the swirly waves Viv, and great in blue and green, and the seagull on the post looks perfect just tucked under the frame with bits trailing over and wonderful fussy cutting, a super look. I think this is a set of stamps which came with a magazine last summer. I got it too as I remember thinking there were lots of stamps with three different packs of them, and if it isn't these then they are very similar. Sorry to leave lots of comments at once but have been away and am playing catch up. x

Your seagull on the post is the perfect image to use with your wave-like stenciling Viv! so pretty in the mix of blues and greens- love how you cut the ropes and hung them over the frame! Yay for getting out things never used! (I have so many as well - and yet I keep buying more!) xx

I had to laugh at the gulls stern face...Now he must be smiling, since you used your wave stencil for the 1st time:-) Loved the colors you used for your waves. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy

That stencil deserved to be used and it is just right as a background to the gull. It seems we are both topping up our supply of male cards - great minds and all that. I dread to think how many items I have lying unused - scary really.

I really love how you blended your blues and greens on this stencil, and pairing it with the gull was genius, Viv! Beautiful card!

Your wave stenciled background is AWESOME! Definitely glad you pulled out the stencil and used it. So perfect with the seafull on the wooden posts. It's a fabulous masculine card Viv! xx

Love the stenciled background .... perfect for the grumpy seagull.
We have a few that look like that on Douglas prom, especially around lunchtime!!!
