Card #49 – One layer card with leaves

Today’s card is a one layer card. Using a spare piece of paper, I partially covered the card stock and stenciled the exposed portion with ‘Mini Vineyard’ stencil from The Crafters Workshop®. I then followed it up by adding Fossilized Amber Distress ink to the background and gave the leaves a border with a fine tip Sharpie®. On…

Lastly, using a hand cut cloud like pattern, I stenciled the the clouds with Salty Ocean Distress ink. Gave the…

For the banner, I used a wood…

Card #44 – Magical stars

This was never supposed to turn into a card. When I ended up with star shaped stencils while die cutting for the previous card and with all my Distress inks out, I decided to stencil some with inks I rarely use.

Card #39 – Love the moment

Making a scene using a limited supply of stamps has always been a challenge. I dug through every single stamp set and stencil I purchased and came up with this scene.
