I got some stencils from the new range by Memory Box and decided that this wave stencil would be ideal for the Runway Inspired Challenge.
I taped the stencil down to the front of the card, then masked off so that I could do the orange (Spiced Marmalade) sweep, then masked that while I sponged the rest of the card blue (Salty Ocean with a bit of Faded Jeans around the edges). Die cut birthday (Memory Box) and stamped "wishes" (Woodware).
I'm also entering it into Simon Says Monday Challenge, Anything Goes.

I made another card with the same stencil, this time in pinks for the ombré and stamping challenge at Craft Stamper:
From the top: Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick distress inks.
I'm adding it to the One Layer Simplicity Challenge but I think Susan might have palpitations at the lack of white space ;)
LOVE your new stencil Shirley ... you've make two fabulous cards. Especially love the blue and orange combo. Loll xx
