Seize the Birthday Challenge - Use Your Initials

Every time it comes to my initials I just have to chuckle.  I will usually add my middle name so its not so bad.  That said, I still came up with a card using my initials.

Violet and Dual Stenciling.

I used a die that has 2 shapes, and made my own dual stencil.  I don't have any two step stencils, but self made worked for me!

My sentiment is from an older Avery Elle sentiment stamp set.

Your turn!  Come on over to the Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  Using your initials is an option, being a birthday card isn't.  Have fun!



Thanks for stopping by~

I did get a giggle out of your comment about your initials... Your self made layered stenciling looks great and the color is so rich. Very clever use of your initials!

I agree, this do-it-yourself stencil worked great! Of Course, so did the violet.

You are so clever to come up with a dual stencil for you last initial. I knew the violet was for your first name though, Those are beautiful butterflies and the added stencil gives a lot of interest to the butterfly.

Ah! Great choice of words! I debated choosing Rose or Red for my initials, but then went in a completely different direction. This is such a cool card, Vicky! Interesting to use the die cut for stenciling.

You probably had the hardest task with 'V', but you aced it! Love those violet butterflies.
