Hello...
We have lovely sunshine today but it's cold and frosty... Strangely there are daffodils in bloom and the hedgehogs that should be hibernating are still visiting us every night...
So today I have a card to share for a brand new challenge CAS Stencil Challenge
brought to us by the talented Loll Thompson
I haven't used stencils for a long time... they tend to be forgotten, but I pulled out a Memory Box stencil for this simple card
The colours I used are Evergreen Bough and Blueprint Sketch
I die cut a leaf from a piece of the stenciled cs and to give it a little more definition I also cut one from silver card, which I cut in half in half then I glued each half behind the stenciled one - Does that make sense?
Well just in case here's a photo to show you
I confess I found it difficult to keep this CAS, I found myself wanting to add things.
That's it for now... Have a lovely day
Till soon

This is such a stylish card Ros and such a great idea to cut the leaf from a piece of the stencilled card, and adding the silver one to frame it really makes it stand out, and also the background works well at a jaunty angle. Fabulous! x
Gorgeous stenciled card, and of course those colors are truly beautiful!! I did this challenge myself and had quite a bit of fun with it. Snowing here right now, quite heavily, our first for 2019!
Oh, how lovely, Ros! Yes, those stencils seem to get neglected along with many other crafty items. How fun to get them out and put them to use. You did a great job with the stencil and lovely colors! The stenciled leaf and the silver one behind it is perfect, so pretty!
WOW! Absolutely beautiful Ros! (no surprise there, your cards are always gorgeous!) What a fabulous trick with the cut die cut behind the main leaf die cut ... looks awesome ... I'll have to try that little trick! Thanks!
Gorgeous stenciled background and leaf, Ros. I LOVE your blue and green color combo and the flow of your CAS design. Perfect for our 1st stencil challenge. I am so pleased you joined us for the CAS Stencil Card Challenge, my friend. Hugs, Nancy
Simple but beautiful card, Ros. I love the colours and the pretty leaf. Kisses, my friend.
CAS is part of the challenge and you've done it brillantely Ros! LOVE the colours you've used for your waves of colour. So clever to cut the mapmle leaf from it as well. The silver paper really makes it stand out from the background. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil! xx
What a lovely stenciled background Ros - like a wind going across the panel - and it caught up your die cut leaf! a beautiful design on this! thanks for sharing with us in the CAS Stencil Challenge!
Oh how beautiful this is! Love the stenciled background and leaf, and the way you layered the gold underneath - very clever to cut in half! Lovely colours and design Ros! TFS
WOW Ros, what a fabulous card, using a super abstract stencil - your sponging is beautifully blended with your signature colorus... love the popped up leaf with it's silver shadow.
Oh I love this, love the colours too!
I think I haven't stop by to say Happy 2019 to you my dear friend!
Wishing you all the happiness in the world and stay healthy and loved!
This is lovely. The layered leaves are so pretty and look great on your stenciled background. Beautiful, soft colors.
I can almost hear that cold wind blowing that leaf around! I love the way you added the silver leaf underneath! Gorgeous card, Ros!
You kept it beautifully CAS and I love it, Ros! The things you do with ink, sigh... Clever idea for backing up the leaf with silver, and I also like how you lifted the edges for a touch of dimension. Daffodils and crocuses pop out early here, so we should be seeing them very soon. Enjoy the color!
Beautiful stenciling and design on your hello card, Ros! I love the movement and the way you added bulk and dimension to that gorgeous leaf!! Hugs, Darnell
CAS can be tricky, but you totally nailed it with this gorgeous card, Ros! Love your stenciled panel and how you placed the leaf...so creative and beautiful!
Thanks so much for playing along with us this month at CAS Stencil!
Oh Ros...this turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Love the soft blues and greens of your stenciled background and how perfect to add the leaf with the silver leaf behind it! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Beautiful CAS card Ros, I love the movement in the stencilled waves, perfect with the diecut leaf, great idea to add the silver leaf too as it makes the stencilled leaf really pop. Thankyou for playing along at CAS Stencil, Cathy x
I love those soft stripes = the colours are beautiful.
Totally cool effect!
I love the wonderful design and the color combo, Ros! Layering the silver leaf is so effective. Love the subtle shine peeking behind the soothing and soft colors.

Gorgeous color combo which I don't think I ever tried! Love your creative use of the stencil for the background & focal point! Wonderfully crafted, Ros!
Sorry I am late commenting Ros and I really don't know how I missed this fabulous card. The colours you've used through the stencil look wonderful and love the unique way you did the leaf. It looks wonderfully CAS to me x
Ros, I'm coming by to congratulate you on your HM at the CAS Stencil challenge - but also to say how wonderful your card is - spectacular, really!!!
