Hello!

 Hello and thank you for visiting me today.  I have a bright and colourful 'Hello' card today - I like making these as they can be used for any occasion,  just add a suitable sentiment inside. 




The flower die from Sizzix Wildflower Stems #2 by Tim Holtz is cut twice from black and white card using the black as a shadow.  I used the Slatted Square Die from Craft Addictions UK for the background. The set is out of stock at the moment but I am sure they will be restocking.  The stencil is Grid by Tracey Hey and the circle dies are from The Works.  I think the 'Hello' is Tracey Hey too but I can't remember which stamp set, sorry.  I used Distress Oxides to add colour through the stencil and added clear Wink of Stella to the flower and the scallops round the sentiment.  

I would like to enter the following Challenges:


Darnell's NBUS Challenge - Never Before Used Schtuff - mine is the Slatted Square Die.


Allsorts Challenge Blog - Paper Piecing or Anything Goes - mine is Anything Goes.

The next Allsorts Challenge is their 16th birthday so certainly one to join in with! 



Thank you so much for visiting me today and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Take care, Chris xxx๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

It always makes me smile to see you creating, Chris! And speaking of smiling ~ what a festive hello card you've made for any occasion! I love the rainbow colors with that grid stencil and how you added the die cut elements and gave them a good winking! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS and for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. calendar and linking in the gallery to motivate others!๐Ÿ“Œ Hugs, Darnell
