New Challenge @ CAS on Friday #307

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

CAS on Friday // #307 ...A clean and simple challenge with a theme.  STENCIL is theme for this current challenge.  I love playing with stencils so this was a super fun challenge for me.  I did some masking so that I could stencil the inside of my lamb in one pattern & color and then use another pattern & color for the space around my lamb.  All the while keeping it clean and simple!!  I love how it turned out!!  

                           
Now it is your turn!!  We can't wait to see your clean and simple card using a STENCIL!!  Hop on over to our blog and check out all the details for this new challenge and gather up some additional inspiration from the rest of the design team...they have some great ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
