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

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....
