Just Us Girls #772 - Stencil Week

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls with our host Ina.  

I had the Cosmos Backdrop BetterPress from Spellbinders just itching to make a card.  So I made two.


This one was pressed with VersaFine Toffee ink and stenciled with Distress Inks in Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Brushed Corduroy.  The panel is bordered with Lawn Fawn Fake Tan and the sentiment, also a BetterPress in Toffee, was stacked for dimension.  


This one was pressed with VersaFine Smokey Gray and inked with Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Everygreen Bough, Pine Needles and Hickory Smoke Distress Inks.  The stacked sentiment is another one from Spellbinders. The border is PTI Raspberry Fizz. 

The stencil challenge is one of the favorites so I hope you'll join us.  For inspiration, please check out the blog to see what the Design Team did.
