Seize the Birthday #314

Hello Crafty Friends.  For those in the northern hemsphere I'd love to know if fall has hit your area yet.  There is no such thing in Florida so I need to live through you.

Today I'm sharing a card I just whipped up for our latest Seize the Birthday challenge where our fearless leader Nancy has chosen Clean and Simple with a Stencil.  I know CAS means different things to different crafters....such as No Layers, No Embellishments, Lots of White Space, etc.  Since I am a failure at single layer cards I chose to add a stenciled and stamped white panel onto a green card base.  There is not much white space however it is entirely flat and devoid of embellishments.  

I chose a beautiful but underutilized set of stencils (5 in all) along with a simple stamped sentiment.  I thought this sentiment design was perfect with the drape of the hanging florals.    

Supplies:

Pink Fresh Studio - Hanging Garden stencil set

The Greetery - Everyday Labels stamp set

Catherine Pooler inks

In addition to Johanna who will be here until year's end we have previous winners Milla and Bonnie joining us on the blog today.  Please come take a look around the blog.  We'd love for you to play along.  CAS/Stenciling is optional.  A birthday greeting is not.  

Thanks so much for visiting!
