Happy

The background on this one is such a stunner that I did the absolute minimum in

covering it up . . .

 This card is another example of Concord and 9th's Turnabout series.  But this design  is from a stencil!  Unlike the stamp sets in the Turnabout line, the stencils don't require a MISTI positioner - only inks, sponge dauber or brayer, and cardstock are required. 

The method is the same as for the Turnabout stamp sets:  fasten down a 6" square piece of cardstock with removable tape.  Position the lower right corner of the stencil over the lower right corner of the cardstock and sponge/daub on the first color.  Wipe off the stencil, rotate it clockwise to the next corner, and once again, re-position the lower right corner over the lower right corner of the cardstock.  Sponge on the second color.  Repeat twice more with additional colors.

Right now, Concord and 9th has two Roundabout stencil sets available.  They introduce new stamps and stencils on the 9th of every month, so I am crossing fingers that more choices will appear soon!
