I'm excited to host my first challenge. Let's have some fun! Please do not combine another challenge with this one.
A Colorful Life Designs is sponsoring my challenge with a $10 credit towards your purchase at A Colorful Life Designs.
My challenge to you is to create two backgrounds using a technique that I developed. The tutorial I made can be found at
Sunflowers and DragonfliesYOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE A SPECIFIC STENCIL--ANY STENCIL WILL BE ACCEPTEDI am adding a twist to this challenge: you will get one ballot for completing two backgrounds and an extra ballot if you turn one background into a finished card.
Please link your finished work in the gallery and leave a comment on this thread stating you have a card in the gallery. Don't forget to come back with a link to your finished card too.
This is a technique that I developedINSTRUCTIONS:
1. Using tacky spray, tack your stencil down on cardstock. If you do not have tacky spray, use a method that works for you.
2. Sponge colour over your entire stencil.
3. Lift off stencil and cut to size.
4. Using a fine-tipped marker, draw lines along the inside, or outside, of the area you want to highlight or place shadow. It is very important that you stay consistent with the placement of your lines. Use a coordinating colour of marker when drawing lines.
