Hello there!
Happy Wednesday!
I took another break, unwillingly for a couple weeks. Side effect of helping care for my mother and cleaning out her house after she passed - tendonitis in my right hand, my dominant hand. So had to get a shot and hopefully it gets rid of it. I'm just thankful I have no arthritis or anything else concerning.
So I had to rest it some before I tried to craft again. I spent Monday at Bonnie's for a craft day, desperately needed. We had a lot of fun catching up and sharing goodies and crafting. I played with a couple of her stencils, including this beautiful one by Papertrey Ink, Sunflower Garden.
I used Distress Inks for everything but my word die, which I used brown cardstock. I decided to ink up one of my geometric stencils when I got home to pair with it. I used the basketweave stencil by My Favorite Things. I did it twice and put one panel behind the sunflower panel and cut down the other one for a strip on the front behind my sentiment die. Added another sentiment on some colored cardstock and was done. Both sentiments are by Catherine Pooler.
I'm slipping it in to the Stencil challenge at Just Us Girls before it ends today.
For Following Challenges:
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back soon!

So glad you made it under the wire, Nance, because your stenciling is stunning. The added basket weave looks great as a border and a place to hold the sentiment. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
This worked for an AWESOME card, my friend! The basket weave stencil makes a perfect accompaniment! I'm glad you could ink the stencil without pain and I'm excited to see that your card is a top pick at JUGs! We need to get together again very soon.
I am in awe of your beautifully stenciled card, Nance - hope that hand feels better every day!
