Less is More - Lucky Dip

This week at Less is More the challenge is a lucky dip and Mandi & Chrissie want something Fruity!

Don't know why I make these cards so difficult for myself, I should have just stuck with the strawberries, but I wanted to do something different. I found this stencil that I have had for years, came with an embroidery magazine I used to collect and have never done anything with any of them!
I used a selection of inks to sponge through the stencil, something that was all the rage about 20 years ago hehe and cut the image out. Now this is a fairly big stencil and even cut out it didn't fit on my 8x8 card and it just didn't look right on white anyway so improvised and made a black card. It then needed some text on it somehow, after rummaging for ages through my stash looking for something suitable, I knew I was going to have to freehand it with a white pen. I did cheat a little and printed the words out and then traced them onto the card before going over it with the white pen.

Not overly sure about this card, does it pass as a C&S, not much white space on this one hehe. Anyway let me know what you think, can always go back to the strawberries :)
