This was one of the top favorites from my recent Saturday Stampers class where we worked on cards that used stencils creatively. I just love how it turned out. The stencil I used is actually not a stencil at all. It is a framelit with 3 little square openings along the side (or the top, if used that way). It actually had another opening that was a long rectangle, but I only needed the 3 squares. I've had it a long time, so I'm not sure of the source. I sponged slightly darker at one corner of the square and then used a lighter touch to complete filling in the square. Notice that I chose a different corner of the square to be the darker portion for each of the 3 squares. It just makes it more artistic. I used Island Indigo ink for the sponging and the text. After making sure the sponged ink was completely dry (heat set) I embossed a dragonfly over each square. This would make a good sympathy, birthday or thinking of you card, just by changing the text. Don't forget: Sunday, March 26 -- Spring Open House Party / 2:00-5:00 / a 'no fee' event ' / RSVP by March 24 and I'll have a special gift waiting for you.
