Baker Girl

I've not used many stencils so decided to have a play with this 'Brick by Brick' one from Taylored Expressions. I used my blending brushes and a couple of pinky ink pads to complement my pinky colour scheme. I'm also a teensy bit addicted to my new Birthday Shadow die set so I've used it again today, raising it up on foam pads to add some layering.

I've been inspired by:

• Country View Crafts - What makes you Happy (lots made me happy about this card; for example, trying something new (stencilling with DI Ink Pads in Victorian Velvet and Tattered Rose), water-colouring the image (using DI Reinkers - I practically needed a single-hair paintbrush for some of those teeny elements of her outfit), using my new Birthday layered die, pretty papers and soft neutral colours with an ickle pop in the accent colours)

Happy crafting
