Time to share my make for the February Card Chain Challenge which I sent to Bonnie in Colorado USA.
Sending lots of thanks to my other swap partner Julia for my lovely card too!
I selected 'Stencil' as my technique option and Flowers and Friendship from the 'Theme' choices
Cut out a circle from the leaves and simply overlaid it.
I have lots of stencils which don't actually get used enough so this challenge gave me another opportunity to dust them off!
I was a little apprehensive as Bonnie makes some beautiful artsy and colourful cards with her stencils and is very talented so I hope she liked my relatively CAS take on this months challenge!
If you fancy giving our massive World wide challenge a go pop over to the challenge blog and sign yourself up.
It's simple to take part - there's colours, sketch, theme and technique options to chose from and you only have to use one so you have lots of scope- and it's lovely to receive a hand made card from elsewhere in the world.
Happy Crafting! x

Amazing!!! Your card looks so delicate.
Beautiful work with the stencils along with a great flower stamp and sentiment. Each time I use a stencil I tell myself I should make more use of them, so effective
One of my favourite shades of green — this is such a lovely card Viv, delicate and beautiful!
Such a beautiful creation! Love the silhouette flowers stamped in black!
A card where the stencils aren’t used to only form the background but actually are the stars of the design. Beautiful!
It is nice to get those stencils out. I often forget how much I enjoy using them. I am sure Bonnie loved this one. I do too xx
Oh Viv - this is SO beautiful in the Cracked Pistachio and silhouette stamping in black! Love your design with the circle cut out and the dots around your stampings! Julia xx
Fabulous card Viv, great stencilling and I love the colours you've chosen.
