Today is my last day as Surprise Party Guest over at Seize the Birthday. I have so enjoyed participating in the June and July challenges and thank Nanc' and the team again for having me!
The challenge for the next two weeks is Tic Tac Toe!
I chose the top horizontal line - stripes, one layer and stencil.
Here's the inside of my card to show it is for a birthday - for a sea-loving guy (or gal!)
I used the double stenciling technique for my background that was the Seize the Birthday challenge on June 17th. If you're interested to see how I double stenciled my background, please see this blog post.
So pick a row of Tic Tac Toe - and join us over at Seize the Birthday!

Such a creative background to depict the sea! And a great sentiment!
How fun that we can guest design together, Julia! I love your stenciled "shipping lines" and that fun ship! The sentiments are both fantastic!
Fab seagoing scene with the double stenciling, Julia!!
The double stenciling looks great and love that it's a one layer card. Thank you for joining our vacation challenge at Time Out.
This card has a wonderful feel of movement, from your background stencilling. Love it.
Julia... love your creativeness with the sea. The double layering is so effective and lovely! Love the unique choice of stencil as well. Thanks so much for joining and sharing at Just Us Girls for stencil week.
That stencilled sea looks wonderful. I love how the ship seems to be sailing along a path. The black works really well over you stencilling too xx
Great ocean scene Julia, with all of the dimension. It has been fun having you as our Surprise Partly Guest at Seize the Birthday.
