Candy Canes Postage

Good morning!  I'm back to share another Christmas card with you today.  I had so much fun creating this one.

I started by placing the Marvelous Masks Postage Stamp 5" stencil over some white cardstock.  I lightly brushed some pale blue ink all around the edges of this stencil.  I kept this Postage Stamp stencil taped in place and put the Crossed Candy Canes stencil over that and brushed light blue ink over the left candy cane and light green ink over the right candy cane.  I removed the Crossed Candy Canes stencil, but the Postage Stamp stencil was still left taped to the white cardstock.  

I put the Christmas Postmark stencil at the top of the panel and brushed a darker green ink over and then removed this stencil.  I pulled out the Snowflake Grid stencil and taped off the area around one of the cute little snowflakes.  I placed that down on the panel and brushed light blue and light green inks over the one single snowflake in different areas all over the panel.

With all the stenciling done, I removed all the stencils.  I stamped the 25 cents (Concord & 9th) in the bottom left corner of the panel with a dark green ink and then adhered this panel to a dark green card.  I stamped the sentiment (Hero Arts) with dark green ink, trimmed it down, and adhered it to the stenciled panel with foam tape.  Lastly, I added some Satin Matte Pale Ocean Blue Green Card Bling to the card.
