Stencilicious...

Good evening all, well this week has been a tough week in the Rice household. It was Mikeys 23rd Birthday, as he doesn't cope with excitement very well and has spent 3 days in bed unwell....(due to many fits).

So we all rally round as a family and today he is much better, thank goodness and finally eating something.

I have been trying to catch up with jobs on my craft list...first of all I had to get some Clarity Samples made for next Sundays shows on C & C ...then, it was time to use some of the new A5 Stencils.....oh they are fabulous ....here is one of my makes...

This is the petal stencil with the large Garden Bird....and yes, I did resist calling it a large tit....

Here is a closer look.

I used the stencil brushes to do the blending....as you know I love these brushes,

They work well with all the stencils...

Here's another one...

Thank you for calling in today, if you have time please leave me a comment....I'm off now to phone my Mum and have a catch up....

Another busy weekend ahead, it's the Happy Stampers show at Port Sunlight...one of my favourites.....the building and surroundings are so beautiful...so I will bid you all goodnight....and see you soon.

Have a good weekend,

Hugs Jo. X

Glad Mikey is a bit better today...you need your sleep!

And I do find it a bit freaky that we seem to be so in tune with our blog posts....we did good luck at the same time and now we have aired our tits at the same time!!!! Ooops I mean Garden Birds! xxx
These are great cards Jo! But then so are the stencils and Stamps! xxx

Glad Mikey is improving, must be difficult as a mother to see your darling boy so poorly. Your stencil work is beautiful. I'm really enjoying swishing and swooshing my delicious brushes over them. Enjoy Port Sunny- Wish it was a little closer so I could go too, although not sure I'm ready for you and Jane getting your garden birds out together!!! Xx

Gorgeous card the colours are so beautiful but you didn't quite resist the large 'bird' did you? (can't use Barbs word as i'm a lady LOL)
