Use a stencil for the July Country View Challenge

 Happy July all, wow another month has flown by and summer is finally in full swing. The weather has been rather hit and miss recently but let's hope warm, sunny days like this are ahead.

For this month's challenge we would like to see you use a stencil (or 2) on your make. 

As always there is a fab £20 voucher up for grabs for one lucky randomly selected winner to spend on the website.  You can find all the details of the challenge and more examples made by my talented teamies here.

This is what I got up to;

I used the brilliant Visible Image Tea party stencil on one of my distress re inker shaving foam backgrounds from my stash. This stencil works perfectly with the Wonderland stamps.

I taped it down and applied distress inks through the stencil.

To leave this colourful background. 

I stamped, coloured and cut out the fab Visible Image Cheshire cat. I just love this stamp. I have coloured this cat in so many colourways. Today I went quite traditional. 

I die cut my very old tea cup and saucer

and stamped these words from the Visible Image, "Stay stronger" sentiment set. I thought it was a perfect match for my smiling Cheshire cat. There are lots of lovely sentiments in this set.

I then put everything together with some stars for finishing touches. Here is my finished card

I hope I may have inspired you to join in with our July "use a stencil (or 2)" challenge. You can use any stamps/products, the choice is yours. 

You can enter our challenge as many times as you like and combine with other challenges. There is also a £20 crafting voucher up for grabs to the lucky randomly selected winner to spend over on the Country View Crafts on line store. Once again all the details for the July challenge can be found here.

Susan has recently had a restock the awesome Visible Image stencils and stamps you can see them all here.  Remember that UK postage and packing from CVC is free on all orders over £7.50! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Take care and stay safe. I will be sharing my 2nd design team project on the 21st and that one has a seaside theme.

I would love to see you over on Instagram where I share new creative makes nearly every day. This is my link/profile @jane.tyrrell

Sadly these days I just don't have the time to blog everything! 

Bye for now
