Addicted to Stamps and More: Die Cuts and Stencils

It's time for a new Addicted to Stamps and More challenge, and this time we are looking for DIE CUTS and/or STENCILS! To be honest, after I made my card, I had a moment of panic that I was supposed to use both, but luckily it can be either or both! 


I was in the mood for some ink blending, so grabbed some distress oxides and blended them on my card base. Then I die cut this pretty cattail triptych, as well as cutting a frame around it. I also added the sentiment in a grey ink for a little softness. Adhered the die cut panel to my card base and this simple card was complete. It will be a good all-purpose sympathy card for the stash, although I have no desire to have to use it. ;) I'm adding this to the current challenge at Freshly Made Sketches


My teammates at ATSM have used die cuts and stencils to create beautiful cards on the blog! Be sure to leave them some love, and then I hope you will join us! 


Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, Unity Bevy of Butterflies sentiment, Memento London fog & worn lipstick, wild honey, bundled sage, mermaid lagoon & wilted violet distress oxide inks, Simon Says Stamp Cattail Triptych & Winnie & Walter Katharine Cutaways pierced rectangular dies
