It has been some time since I played in this particular challenge, but I liked this mood board and really wanted to try out my new die and stencil so I used the inspiration from there. The Card Concept #213 {Winter Solace}. I liked the colours in the mood board. I’ve never done anything like this before and am not 100% sure I like the result, but as with anything new, it takes time to figure out how things work best. It did give me an opportunity to use some small stamps that I’ve not used much in the past, all from different sets. Some are GKD, another is Kitchen sinks and another is MFT.
I guess I would categorize this as Mixed Media/Clean and Graphic based on the descriptions Card Concept uses. I sponged or brushed some colour through the stencil and when dry I began adding the images using Versamark ink and heat embossing as I went.
As this die and stencil are a U.K. brand (Woodware) they are slightly different to our sizes so I had to cut the panel down a bit to get it to fit onto the card front. I got them on sale at a Canadian online store called Scrap Chicks. It is fun to have a few new things to play with.
Many thanks for stopping by and also for any comments you may leave. I enjoy reading your thoughts. As I didn’t have time to finish this post yesterday I am looking at it with fresh eyes, which means I like it more now than I did.

I like your card! It fits the challenge well. It’s nice to have new and to find a store close by, or at least in the same country.

I got an SU order the other day. It was mostly dies that went with stamps that I was able to purchase used, but not really used for a great price. I started using one of the sets today.
