Scene Building with Stencils: Unlikely Friends

 Hello Crafters! 

We'r having another thaw here in Ohio and I loved wearing no coat to work yesterday! 

Unfortunately, as I type this temperature is starting to drop again and I'm sure I'll be wearing winter boats and gloves in addition to that coat for youth group tonight. 

Last week I was over on the Neat & Tangled Blog sharing this super fun card using lots of fun stencils. 

I wanted to do a one layer card and I thought it would be fun to use some stencils to build my background. I love how it looks like a magical forest :) 

I knew that my koala and my skunk were going to be neutral colors so I added tons of color to the background. I love how it's a graduation from the teal to the pink. 

You can watch the whole card come together in the video below. You can also hear about my attempted murder hahaha. 

I'm so glad I added those perfect pearls last minute. Besides adding gorgeous shine, which it does, it also makes the whole card feel more whimsical which I really do love. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
