I don't know about you, but for me creating a clean & simple card that includes stenciling is quite a challenge. I'm embarrassed to even admit how many sheets of smudged messy stenciled cardstock ended up in the recycle bin during the making of this card.
But since Stencil is the theme at the CASology challenge, I remained persistent until I got the look I wanted.
Since STAMPlorations is sponsoring the CASology Challenge, I broke out my Gridlocked Stencil with kraft ink and used some new STAMPlorations sentiment builders CELEBRATE stamps.
The layout is this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.
It's also Stamps & Anything Goes for the STAMPlorations Challenge in May. They also have a CAS Card Challenge each month.
Awesome CAS card, Stephanie! Love how you partially inked the stencil. Happy to see your card in the STAMPlorations galleries :o)

This would make a fab masculine birthday card, the kraft balloons work really well with the wood DP and stencil.
Thanks for sharing at STAMPlorations. :)
