It's challenge time at Seize The birthday, and for this challenge the topping is tall and skinny cards. I folded a 8¼ piece of square card to make my tall and skinny card. I taped this gorgeous stencil from Loll and using a fineliner, drew half the outline of each shape to create an illusion of depth. A quick peek under the stencil showed that the illusion wasn't quite enough, so I enhanced the lines with a Tombow pen. Another quick peek showed that it still wasn't quite enough, so I sponged Weathered Wood Distress ink over the stencil, then I was happy with it.
Get your tall and skinny cards out and come and join us, or just join in the Anything Goes birthday theme.
Very nice effect with the stencil! Jo x
