Creative Art Retreat: fun colourful stenciled background aka "card 7"

One of the things I love about Jenn Shurkus classes is she makes colourful backgrounds which normally involve ink blending. This card is no exception and it's even more special as she actually designed the Flower Medallion stencil herself and collaborated with Stuff by Belle to get it made. This was an exclusive item for attendees of her November 2023 Cape Cod in-person art retreat and also for the few of us that were lucky enough to snaffle up a left over kit when they went on sale. 

My last Art Retreat with Jenn the Newton Nook Designs card was one of my favourite cards and this one is even more fun as we have 3 kitty cats with a fun image to colour up. The cat on the left is holding a fire extinguisher and the inside sentiment reads "your birthday is starting to become a fire hazard". One of our family members is actually a fireman so guess Russell may inherit this card for his next birthday but to be honest anyone should LOL at how gorgeous and cute the cats are. 

We've only used half of the A2 panel that we ink blended (we cut it in half) and we just made a quick approximation of the blend we used with the stencil directly to the top of the A2 card base. Isn't that fun! Colours used Mustard Seed, Kitsch Flamingo, Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina, Mustard Seed again. You get fun colour combos happening where the colours blend, I also love the big balloon die cut out of Pixie Dust Sparkle card stock (LF).
