I am popping in with a card for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge, even though it's near the deadline, I just had to play along. You may have noticed my obsession with stencils lately. It continues! I learned so many ideas from the Stenciled 2 Online Card Class, that I pulled all my stencils out, and ordered a few more as well.
I just couldn't wait to use this new stencil from Gina K designs, called Bold Bouquet.
Beginning with pale blue card stock, I blended Oxide inks in layers using Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, and just a bit of Shabby Shutters.
For the next step, I inked the Stitched Quilt Stencil (Frantic Stamper) over the entire card front. This simple layer brought cohesiveness to the design. Wanting to add texture, I used the Dot Fade stencil (Tim Holtz) and randomly daubed white craft ink in a few areas.
I had a blast making this card and I was really pleased with how it turned out. I am eyeing all my stencils differently now that I realize how many ways they can be used.

The Tic Tac Toe challenge had great options! I went with the top row suggesting Flowers, Word Die and Matching Envelope.
It was easy to add a stenciled flower diagonally across the envelope with some design on the back and upper left front.
ETA: I didn't make it in time to enter at Tic Tac Toe. Next time!
I will also add this to NBUS, SSS Wednesday Challenge, and a new to me challenge at
I hope this encourages you today. Get those stencils out to play! I am grateful for your kind visit, thanks so much!
