How nice it is when you get a random card in the mail from someone letting you know that they were thinking of you, or that they appreciate you, or just letting you know that they care. I had one of those (very rare for me) occasions the other day when my sweet "blog" friend, Bev Jordan, sent me the sweetest card. It was unexpected and very much not needed. But it was a tremendous blessing to me, nonetheless. This card that I'm sharing with you here today is another one of those cards to have ready and on hand in case you need to reach out to someone. I like that it's flat for mailing.I used light kraft cardstock layered with cream cardstock layered with a green cardstock from my super old stash. In fact, I never thought I'd use this piece of green cardstock. I used it along with some cool stuff called Paper Glaze which is used for stenciling. I used the awesome NEW Funky Stones Stencil and this green Paper Glaze to create the textured background. I really didn't want to cover up any of this gorgeous background. The Funky Stones Stencil leaves the coolest stone images.I took this photo at an angle so that you really see the gorgeous lines in this cool new stencil. The Paper Glaze adds texture and sparkle. I've seen, thus far, this awesome new Stencil used with various inks, with Crackle Paint (my favorite), Gesso and Paper Glaze. It's a really cool stencil to add to your collection, I'm just saying. I used the Thoughtful Wreaths Stamp Set to stamp the sentiment.The sentiment was stamped onto a super old kraft tag from 7 Gypsies. That's from way back in my scrapbooking days. Anyway, I liked that it was already grungy, so I stamped it and was able to keep the focus of my card on that gorgeous Funky Stones Stencil background. Thanks so much for visiting me here today, friends.
Blessings,
