Hi everyone. Today's card is for the new
CAS Stencil challenge for October. This month I'm hosting and I'm asking you to use patterened paper. :) We all have tons of patterned paper in our cupboards, so time to pull some out and create a stenciled card with the patterned paper in the background.
The card above uses a very subtle, small green check paper as the background. I sponged over top through a NBUS poinsettia stencil that I bought recently. I love how it turned out! I used the whole 6"x6" sheet of checked paper to stencil. I only used a portion of it for the card above.

I used a leftover piece to create a second card ...
Cut a square and added a stitched white frame and sentiment to finish.

Oh my, Loll...Gorgeous stenciled poinsettias over your subtle green checked patterned paper. I love the font on your Christmas sentiment and CAS design. What an awesome way to use up our hoards of DSP too:-)
Loved your 2nd CAS design with your leftovers too. TFS and hosting this fun challenge, my friend. Hugs..Nancy
Your poinsettia stenciling looks wonderful over the graph pattern Loll! Wonderful deep colors used - and so nice to have more pieces to create multiple cards! Thanks for this fun challenge this month! xx
What a great idea for the challenge Loll to use some patterned paper. I have recently done a card stamping on a paper and it gives a different but very pleasing look. I love the bright poinsettias and leaves you have stencilled on the small green grid which really adds to the stencilling without overpowering it, and then the second using a stitched square frame to display it. Two fabulous cards!
Wonderful vivid Poinsettias on this subtle check paper Loll - great cards! x
You've completely changed the look of this patterned paper .... I love it! Those poinsettias are beautiful, gorgeous rich colours xx
Your stenciled poinsettias are gorgeous, Loll! I love how the pattern peeks out from the crisp edges of your vibrant colors! Such a beautiful sentiment, too!
Thanks so much for choosing such a fun technique for October :) xx
Love your beautiful stenciled poinsettias. Two great cards from the one piece. Love it.
Beautifully designed, Loll! Amazing the different cards you achieve from one sheet of patterned paper. Love the idea of used the subtle papers. I may have a few of those left. I will have to try this to up more of mine. Great idea!
Beautiful cards Loll, love the soft grid background, so pretty with the stencilled poinsettias. Love the Christmas font too, Cathy x
Lovely rich colors on those poinsettias!! And, gorgeous font on the lovely sentiment!
Love the way you turned that very ordinary non-Christmas dp into beautiful Christmas cards!! Two great layouts!
Fabulous rich red poinsettias on the subtle green checked DP - and two gorgeous cards Loll, I love the matching green sentiments, great for a change.. hugs Robyn
This is stunning Loll - I must try stencilling over a patterned paper - it certainly is effective on these card

The stenciling is pure perfection and totally transforms the paper. Gorgeous cards Loll!

Love the rich red and green of the stenciled poinsettias on this subtle patterned paper, Loll! A great choice for background and two gorgeous CAS cards!
A couple of months ago I started pulling out pattern paper, along with other things, to either use or donate. (Such a good feeling to clean out stuff!) Have been using pattern paper for Christmas and other cards...and keeping it simple and easy. Love the look of sponging thru a stencil on pattern paper...gonna try it this afternoon. Thank you!
what a great way to use up all that DP. I love your poinsettia stencilling, it's so crip and clean :)
Both of your cards are absolutely GORGEOUS Loll! Those Poinsettia's really pop against the soft DSP and I can't wait to go through my mountain high stash of DSP and see what I can come up with! Thanks for such a FUN challenge!! :0)
Always good to get two cards from the same technique Loll. What a fun idea to use the patterned paper and thank you for the inspiration to do so x. Wonderful cards, both of them and the stencilling looks so striking and fabulous CAS designs too x.
I'm glad it's not just me - what a great way of use up some of our stash of patterned paper! Will try and join in the challenge if I can but crafting time is quite limited for me at the mo! Thanks for the inspiration Loll! Stef x
Gorgeous, Loll ... the rich, bold colours in the panels on each card contrast beautifully with the crisp white! Hugs, Anita :)
This is such a great idea for a challenge, Loll. Your cards are lovely and I'll be posting mine today.
All these cards are so pretty, but I do love the first one Loll, its beautiful.
Cards made with great taste and class. Great sentiment, perfectly matched to the first card. xx
Love your take on this month's challenge here Loll. Simply fabulous.
