Just Us Girls #768 -- ANYTHING GOES STENCIL Week


Join us! It is 
ANYTHING GOES STENCIL week at Just Us Girls.  Vicki is challenging us to use a stencil in our card creations this week.  I love this birthday stencil by Concord & 9th.  These balloon animals look so real.  Couple of things.  There three stencils in the set which build up each animal. These balloons look best if multiple colors are used but the stencil is spaced well enough that no masking is required.  I tried stenciling each layer in one color... the result was not good.  These stencils are definitely made for building each individual animal.  

I finished off the card fronts with a layered sentiment and a few glitter dots.

I made four cards for donation to Little Birthday Angels, a local agency that ensures every child, who might not otherwise, has a birthday celebration.

Check out our fabulous guest designer for March, Jeanne Jachna. Please welcome her and check out her fabulous work over at A Kept Life
