I had quite a productive time on the crafting front which was nice, and come Sunday I installed myself downstairs with Mr Heart to start prepping for two wedding orders.

I designed it to fit into the CAS Stencil Challenge for May where the theme is to stencil over a coloured background. Every month I intend to join in this challenge (along with its three sister challenges) but time always seems to run out before I get there. Must try harder.
Anyway, I have at least made the stencil challenge and here is my offering:
