I love the idea at http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/ where the challenges are planned to go through the alphabet using each letter in turn. At the moment the challenge is to use embellishments and as it's the school holidays there is a whole fortnight to complete the challenge.
I decided to use my new mask and corner stencil by Joy (hmm think that counts as a personal 'buy it and use it' challenge completed too). I was led to these stencils by another blogger, Heather at http://ricas-haven.blogspot.com/ who had made the most gorgeous card using one of the stencil designs.
My stencil is the flower design which I embossed on to silver mirror card using my Wizard machine. Keeping the stencil in place I pricked that section of the design and then cut the whole mask out. It was then attached to the card and embellished with jewels and a feather. I embellished the corner section in the same way and finished the card off using wide line silver peel offs to form a frame around the whole card.
The card is for my daughter who finishes Uni next week. It's not a graduation card as the results don't come through for ages yet but it is the last weekend she will spend in Liverpool with her friends and I think that calls for a celebration for them all. I know she will love the card as I'm enclosing some cash to celebrate with!!!

What are you talking about - its gorgeous. As for mentioning me - I feel honored - thank you!! I've done one in blue, not yet posted as I haven't known what the sentiment should be, I'll get it finished & post it. If you like I'll run you some of mine off and post them to you (but you can cut them out yourself!!!) I'll leave my email address just think about what colours you would like.
Love Heather xxx
