Stencil fun...

 Because I love using blending brushes and stencils, I recently got them out to have a play. My playing around generally ends up as a completed card, but not always. 

This was one of those times when playing with my stencils actually produced something. I grabbed several ink colors and began brushing them onto the stencil in a diagonal pattern. When I was done, I cut my panel to the size I wanted, matted it with some yellow CS and added it to a blue card base. Then I pulled out my glitter cardstock to see if I had some coordinating colors for a few punched balloons.

Here you can see that I've popped up my balloons and my sentiment panel (with a die-cut sentiment) using foam squares. That is actual thread for the balloon strings, which has been taped to the backside of the balloons.

This card will be sold at the thrift store, so I kept the inside pretty simple - just a cute stamped sentiment.

I learned a few days ago that my granddaughter's boyfriend and his twin brother both contracted COVID-19. They are currently quarantining in the basement of their family home for a couple of weeks. Hopefully, they will recover with no ill effects. They know where they picked up the virus and when, and my granddaughter has not seen her boyfriend since before that time, so she is hopefully in the clear. 

I hope you are staying healthy. While young people seem to recover fairly quickly, it's a lot more dangerous for us "mature" types.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
