Dotty Trees Joy

Good morning!  There is a fun challenge going on over on the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers blog - just make a Christmas card or a wintery card and link it up.  I'm starting off this fun week with this card that I made with a stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, one of the sponsors for this BYSHC linky party.  If you are inspired to shop for some fabulous stencils, please use this code, HollyFan10, and you'll save 10% off your entire order (excluding bundles).

I placed the fun new Dotty Trees stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over some white cardstock and taped it down.  I brushed some soft blue ink over the stencil here and there, and then filled in the rest of stencil with a soft green ink.  I wrapped some silver twine around this panel and then adhered it to a pale blue card base.  After I die cut the sentiment and the shadow, I adhered these to the card.  

Isn't that a fun stencil for a holiday card?  Check out all the great new holiday stencils in the October release at A Colorful Life Designs.  You can also shop in the Christmas category for hundreds of other stencils to inspire you.  Join us in the BYSHC linky party linked above to share your holiday card(s).
