Yes my no new stash in 2023 is well and truly over! Bought some more new bits and pieces (craft haul video) … and here is the result of my first play …
What is new? Well the layering stencils that I used to make that pretty background circle … and the wishes sentiment stamp.
I am absolutely in love with the layered stencil piece but it took some time for me to put together this into a card.
After enjoying the effects of the full 6×6 piece … I ended up die cutting the circle and just using that piece for this card. I will set aside the outer piece for another card … along with other things I originally tried for this.
I decided to add the little flowers and sprigs from the stash of ready cut die cuts, and the birthday sentiment die cut.
I also used the Painted texture embossing folder on the crumb cake panel.
The final bit of the sentiment was from the waffle flower stamp set I also bought at the same time!
But really this card is all about that layered stencil background… love that you can do any colours you fancy and add texture and shine with embossing or pastes… so cool!
And left from this first play is this excellent frame of loveliness…
… wonder when I will get round to using it?
Happy crafting!
