Just Us Girls #829 ~ Happy Birthday

Well hello there! We have our new challenge up at Just Us Girls. It's stencil week and I'm hosting! I have a cutie patootie birthday card for your inspiration. Take a look...

I started with a stenciled panel using a WF stencil set. I cut it with the largest SSS Scalloped Arches and, as you can see, left off the scallops. Next, I die cut an oval from the center of the panel. Everything went back together on a white card base. My cutie patootie little lion from Stamps By Judith is the focal point. He has a glittery chest and whiskers. I opted for an oversized sentiment tab from MB and rounded the top corners of the card base to echo the big arch. I liiiiike it!!

Pull a stencil set from your stash and come play along. 

We love it when you do!

Cutie patootie is right! Such a pretty leafy stencil; perfect stage for your star of the show lion who is, indeed, charming! The oval + arch + rounded corners combination...YES!!

Oh my goodness, this is adorable, Lisa! The stenciled panel is gorgeous, and that little lion completely stole my heart. The glittery whiskers are such a fun touch. I love how you echoed the arch with the rounded corners too — so clever. Another beauty from you!

Ohhh, I like it, too, Lisa! Your stenciled background is just right for that darling sparkly-haired lion, and I love how you managed the layers without it being too much. The large-ish sentiment gets the point across beautifully. Very cute and fun!

This lion is definitely a cutie! The tropical background is the perfect setting for him. I just got back from CA. visiting my son and his family and I see I've missed some beautiful cards. I enjoyed playing catch-up on your blog. Hope you're having a wonderful summer.
