Just Us Girls: Trend Week

I had every intention of joining Just Us Girls last week where the challenge was “Hello,” but the weekly challenges frequently get away from me. This week’s challenge is to Use a Stencil.

It definitely is a trending technique, and I’m glad to be joining in this week with a card that also uses a large HELLO sentiment.

I love Altenew’s “Flowing Drops” stencil and used Distress Oxides inks to create the blue/green background. I trimmed the sides enough so the Hawaiian Shores card base would create a narrow border. 

The sentiment is from The Stamp Market’s “Paper Hugs” set. I die cut it with white and layered it on the shadow die cut with Hawaiian Shores, and popped it up with some dimensional tape.

I’m also entering this in the Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge. I just recently happened up the Happy Little Stampers who seem to have monthly challenges for a variety of techniques/products. I’m much more likely to be on time with monthly challenges!
