The stencil is a 6x6 square called Wander & Find by Carta Bella. Using the gray marker shown in the picture, I traced just enough of the stencil to create a partial frame. I expected I'd be stamping a sentiment in that space (trying to keep it CAS per challenge rules), but then the bird happened. I hope it's still CAS enough for the challenge. In the picture below you can see the gray marker outline a little better. Coloring is Copics.
I do really like the stenciled leaves and berries and probably wouldn't have thought to use my stencil like this were it not for the challenge. It was quick to trace and color. The coloring of the bird stamp is quick and simplistic, too.
CAS Mix Up: Stencil Tracing
Card making is bound to slow down soon, but I've enjoyed it this week. It's been so darn windy outside in the afternoons I'm happy to stay in and view the garden through my window. Have a good rest of the week!

I love the way you've used this stencil, Leslie! It makes a gorgeous frame for your sweet birthday bird. I really like the gray outlining of the stencil. It's subtle, but you can definitely see that it gives the leaves and berries a 3-d look. Great work! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
Hi Leslie. Don't forget to add to the CMU gallery! :)
Leslie, I am loving your stenciled frame and the sweet lil bird looks as if he belongs amongst the leaves and berried. So sweet.
lovely. I like the leafy stencil. I thought CAS meant single layer card with no 3D embellishes... So I think you've hit it on the mark. Have a great day
I never whould have thought to trace stencils and then color what a fun idea. Love how you card came out. The little bit of bling on the balloon is a nice touch.
Here's that adorable stamp set again!! A great stencil too, see after talking about stencils you go tone out LOL! A fabulously created card, I just adore that bird!!
That is a great design...love the colors too.
I love your choice of colors for your beautiful traced and colored stencil border, Leslie. Your sweet birdie fit in your white space beautifully. So pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up Stencil Tracing, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
I love this stencil, Leslie! The gray outlining makes those leaves and berries pop! Love the bird with the sparkly balloon! I'm glad you stayed inside to craft! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Well, that looks like a fun technique! And, as usual, your card turned out fantastic. I like your cute little birdie, and also the dashed frame. Great card, Leslie!
Ha Ha, I saw that you posted again and I said Oh wow she posted again and then your first words were, Yes I'm back so soon :)
I love that stencil idea, love when we can get more uses out of our goodies!, the bird is so perfect in that area, so cute, great design of the card, I would say it is perfect for the challenge!
What an adorable scene you've created! I love that you've outlined with grey, subtle but makes it pop! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Oh my goodness Leslie, this is just the sweetest. Love your stenciled border, I've never used a stencil this way before, but need to try. Your little bird (I really need this set) with the present, just fits so perfectly! Great design and colours. You are on a roll this week! Love when you stamp!
The stencil outlined and colored in is just beautiful. I love how this card turned out, Leslie!
You did a great job with the stencil tracing and I am not sure I have seen that technique quite before. What a fun idea with this birdie. Might not of planned it but it works well together. Very cute.
It's perfection!I love it!
