Well, my lovely friends, I am posting this at 01:30 UK time! I didn't finish this card until this evening and then forgot that I hadn't posted it yet, so here it is.
As you can tell by the title of this post, I have been 'playing' with stencils again. Also, this is another card for Pixie's Snippets Playground as the butterfly layers and the sentiment strip were all made from snippets. The butterfly was die cut from a snippet of white card-stock and a snippet of vellum, which I coloured on the back with a marker to coordinate with the sponging I did through the stencil and the sentiment was heat embossed on a snippet of black card-stock. I finished off with a few of my home-made 'enamel' dots.
Well, all I need to do is now is show you the picture, sign off and go to bed!
Thank you so much for popping by and for any comments you might leave, I really do appreciate them all. Goodnight, I'm off now. Have a good evening/day whatever, you are doing!
