Stencil and emboss

Hey crafty friends - hope all is well with you!! I've not been around much because my mom broke her leg! We've been having loads of fun (NOT) with that. I've been able to craft in the wee hours either at night or before my normal rising time.... 

I whipped out this quick card this morning for the November Let's Squash It!! Challenge to stencil and emboss. I'm able to blog it while mom takes a nap & isn't grabbing my laptop for some online games!!

Supplies: Paper - DCWV A2 card, Neenah white
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug (retired; name unknown)
Stencil - Sunny Studio Forest Trees
Dies - Spellbinders Snowflake Splendor
Inks - Distress Oxide Twisted Citron, Rustic Wilderness
and Pine Needles
Other - SSS holiday sentiment strips

I stenciled the three layers of trees using DOIs, then embossed. Trimmed to layer on card; added snowflake and sentiment strip - done!! Very quick and fun! 

For a blast from the past, go HERE to see a card I made with this ef back in 2009! Sadly I didn't name it there either... Here's a bad photo (sorry) of the ef:


 
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day!!

    Hoping your mom is feeling better sooner rather than later. Sending hugs and good thoughts for healing for your mom and patience and love for you. Its hard taking care of a parent no matter how much we love them.

    Your card is fabulous, one of my faves of the season.

    Sending hugs and speedy recovery wishes to your mom. Love your card. Fabulous idea to use that tree line stencil. I have that stencil and a similar one from Pinkfresh Studio… don’t ask me why I needed both! 🙈😂 btw, congratulations in the HM at Let’s Squash It.
