I have seen a few cards made with this stamp from Ellen Hutson.
As it had solid shapes I thought a stencil might be easy to make . So this is my third attempt at drawing and cutting out what I hoped would look kind of OK.My first attempt didn't have enough sections - the second time I cut out the sections almost to the middle and the whole thing just wouldn't stay together - this third attempt was much better as I drew a circle in the middle and made sure I didn't cut into it - of course this means I have to have an image or some text in the middle to cover up the crappy bits.
I moved my stencil over a little bit after the first colour was applied and then added some grey.The stencil was only made from paper and not usable again but I quite like the effect. Maybe when our postal systems get back to normal I might just buy the stamp.
