Hello friends. Our hostess this week at
Merry Monday is Deanne, and she would like to see you use a STENCIL on your Christmas cards.
I love using stencils, so this was a FUN challenge for me! Ok, ok, they're ALL fun for me because I just LOVE making Christmas cards!! :0) But anyway, I started with a TH Holiday Script stencil and kraft cs and came up with this:
I used Walnut Stain distress ink for the words and Peeled Paint distress ink for the leaves, and then attached to a kraft card base, along with a strip of striped DSP (PTI) and Scarlett Jewel cs. I added a star shaped tag from PTI's
Tremendous Tags dies and stamped it with a sentiment from
Fillable Frames #9 (also PTI). A little wooden star over the stenciled star and some Nuvo Drops for my berries, and this card was finished!
So dig out those STENCILS friends, and let us see what YOU come up with! Check out all the lovely cards from the DT if you need more inspiration right
HERE, and then play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
