The 2nd Inkspirational Challenge for June is up over at the blog!
Optional Twist - Geometric
That Optional Twist reminded me of a stencil I have in my stash from Sweet Poppy Stencils called Absolute Abstracts that I have only used once and thought this was a good time to play with it again! I'm not sure if it's still available.
This is a large metal stencil so I stenciled it onto an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2 piece of card stock using 3 colors - Ranger Distress Speckled Egg, Dusty Concord and Crackling Campfire.
Then I cut the panel in half making two 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panels that I made into two cards! A two-fer!
I added the stampings and enamel dots and called them done! I like to have masculine cards on hand.
So we hope you'll get out your stencils (maybe geometric patterns!) and create a card to link up over at the Inkspirational Blog - where you will also find creative inspiration from the rest of my teamies!
This challenge ends on July 4th!
