Challenge 821

Goods morning, it's Val welcoming you to a new challenge and for my theme I have chosen one which is technique based using....
Stencils and Masks
or Anything Goes

Stencils and Masks play a big role in our crafting these days so I would love to see how you incorporate them into your entries, but if they are not something you use then there is always the A/G option, we love to see whatever you create. But please remember your post must provide make/details of the focal elements of your entry to be eligible.

A super prize from Lisa Horton Crafts, Pansy Corner layering stencils with coordinating die and embossing folder. Plus an extra prize of two stencils....

 

Lovely inspiration from the Design Team....

Using Lisa Horton Poppy Corner stencil/die/embossing folder bundle

Happy Crafting and I will be back with my Top 7 on 25th April, the date will also be the day when our April winners are announced.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
