Good morning and a very happy Thursday! I know I'm showing my age now, but I'm totally in Ron Moody/ Fagin mode for the new Country View Crafts challenge: Use a Stencil (or two).
So apart from whisteling "You Gotta Pick A Pocket Or Two" I've been digging deep into my stash! It's been ages since I inked up my AALL & Create stamps, and they also have some great stencils, so it looks like a plan is coming together!
These are the stencils that I used on my large Art By Marlene album and gel plate.
I added some extra bits of stencilling in the corners, then stamped this lovely long border stamp and put in a bit of stitching.
This is what I've used, Susan has a great selection of AAll & Create stamps here , and stencils here, as well as cutting dies and washi tape.
To finish I added a bit of white and black pen, and stamped the circles from another AALL set. I don't think it needs a sentiment but there's always room if I change my mind.
I hope you join in with our fun challenge and pick a pocket stencil or two.
Take care, and thanks so much for looking x
