A Place to Start June Guest Designer

A while ago I discovered a new challenge blog called A Place to Start.   Not only is it a great challenge blog, but it is a great place to find sketches, techniques, tutorials, and a wealth of information about inks, tools, coloring....

This month I'll be Guest Designing for their June Challenge -
Stencil Me In.

I only have a couple stencils.  Most of the time I use a negative from die cutting or from cutting on the cricut as a stencil.  
Today I used an actual stencil that came with a stamp set and sponged it with various colored inks to make this fun card.

The Pinwheel Monster is from 2 Cute Ink digital stamps.

I'll be sharing this card at a few other challenges: 
Dragonfly Dreams Challenge - For a Man or Boy
Addicted to Stamps Challenge #175 - For a Man/Boy 
Stamping Sensations Challenge - Lots of Color 
Die Cut Divas Challenge - Birthdays
Dies R Us Challenge #122 - Kids (The HB die was a magazine freebie; the scalloped square die is MFT.)
Cut It Up Challenge #175 - Birthdays


I hope you all have a lovely day and can take some time to check out and maybe enter the challenge at
