Dots, dots, dots and an elephant!

On Instagram I saw a couple of adorable cards by towersart and had to try it myself. I made my own stencil with different sizes of circles to create this background with distress inks. Just added the cute adorable elephant by My Favorite Things and the sentiment by Create a Smile Stamps. The die cut frame I used is from my best friend. I don't know which one it is. But I love it!

I sent this card to my best friend, after we spent a get-away weekend together in May. The past weekend I visited her again, to spend a last girls night out before she is becoming a mother in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, we are living about 90 minutes away from each other, so we don't see us very often. She displays this card next to her TV which made me very proud!

First stencil card!

This is my first stencil card. I bought a stencil which is supposed to be used for T-Shirt coloring. I tried it on a card. After coloring the stencil I sprayed some water on the card in order to get a smoother look. The stencil garden scene is perfect in combination with the Lawn Fawn stamp set "Fairy Friends".
