Christmas Kickstart Challenge #70 - Stencils and Masks



Happy New Year and welcome to Challenge #70 or as we'll call it today - the first Christmas Kickstart Challenge of 2023.  

I'm delighted to welcome the lovely Beverly from Bev's Creative Path as our first elf for 2023.

"I am a domestic engineer and freelance project designer living in rural Alabama. I enjoy reading and going to the movies with my daughters, but most days you can find me in my studio happily working on my art." 

Thanks for coming to play at Christmas Kickstart, Beverly, it's great to have you here!

Our theme for Challenge #70 is Masks and Stencils

Just look at what our brilliant elf made for this theme...


Isn't this just adorable. Anyone else feel a sudden urge to CASE the heck outta this one? 

Here's what I made for the challenge...


It wouldn't be Kickstart without the amazing Rudolph and here he is with his first Random Raffle of 2023.

The prize is a sweet Lili of the Valley grey rubber stamp called Two fairies and Stocking.
