Hi Crafters,
Rachel gave us a mixed media challenge this week to use stencils on our Christmas cards.
Here are my offerings....
I used an MFT Graduated Stars Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks for the background on this card. Then I sprayed some Pearl Diamond Sparkle Spray from Crafters Companion through the stencil while it was still in place. The die is called 'Trimming The Tree' by Pretty Quick Designs.
These were made using a Tim Holtz stencil called 'Holiday Knit' and texture paste - I need a little more practice I think, there are a few squidges lol. The sentiment die cuts are a Duo Die set.
Challenges I'd like to enter:
My blogging has become rather erratic during this year, it isn't my intention to go days without popping on here but that's what's happening. The days just get sucked up with all sorts of things right now but I will endeavour to try harder and get here more often. I do appreciate all my followers, their visits and comments and thank you for your time spent here today.

Gosh Lorraine, these are absolutely gorgeous. I love the texture paste in the knit stencil It really gives the warmth of a woolly winter sweater. Christine x
Fabulous cards Lorraine. Love them both. Stay Safe and Well. Hugs Rita xxx
Two sup duper cards using the stencils. I don’t have any suitable to use so opted for the wild card. Dull and overcast here today but not cold so will be planting the rest of my bulbs out as per Monty Don’s instructions. Hugs Mrs A.

Beautiful stenciled cards Lorraine, and the colours and textures are beautiful.
Life just sometimes takes over from your hobby, I can hardly believe how busy I've been these last few months, even when on lockdown a few months back, keep safe Kate x

Hi Rainey, your cards are beautiful. I particularly like the knitwear stencil. I can only empathise with your erratic blogging. I've struggled with both cardmaking and posting since March. Hopefully, we'll both recover our equilibrium soon. x
Fab cards Lorraine. You've created some fab backdrops with these stencils. Love the second best of all. Zoe x
These are gorgeous Lorraine .....
Hugs Sylvie xx
