Lion Stencil

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for the celebration of our Male Challenge which is 6 years old. My contributions have been, as DT, from June 2016. I love making masculine cards, with so many men in the family I have too. I was brought up in a house with 4 brothers, Father and Grandfather, my Mum and I being the only women, so a little understanding of men comes easy. (Their mostly little boys, no matter what their size!) LOL

 An easy challenge for you this month and great inspiration for the Male cards some of you find difficult to make, the DT are fantastic and you'll also get inspiration from the challenge entries - I hope to see you there.

Birthday ATG

We have a sponsor for this challenge, the wonderful
Funky Fossil

who is giving 3 of her amazing stencils as a prize.

This is my card, using a few techniques I haven't done before, am I getting experimental at last? LOL.

I have seen quite a few stencils by Funky Fossil used on some blogs I follow, so I decided to bite the bullet and buy one to use in our challenge and, seeing as my son's 43rd birthday is just a few days away and he is a Leo, I used her fabulous and masculine "Geometric Lion". I didn't have any stencil paste, so went on line and found I could make my own with this link YouTube. It worked great and even a few days later, it's still usable in it's sealed plastic container.
