The challenge this week at Sugar Creek Hollow is called STENCILS & MASKS. We want you to make vintage or shabby chic cards using stencils or masks to create backgrounds or other elements.
I bet are wondering where my stencil or mask is. Well check out the holly vine that I created from this cheap plastic stencil that has been in my crafting supplies for a zillion years. I used distress ink to stencil it and then hand cut it. I had originally intended for it to be a border but I really did not like it as a border and am very happy with this outcome.
I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
