Stenciled Vintage Card

This card was a learning experience. I've never tried to stencil a pattern as 'paper' and while I appreciate new things, I don't know that I'll do it anytime soon. :o) The process was a bit tedious and since I sponged the ink, quite messy. I really like the end card and I guess having red fingers is appropriate for the season!

My card could be used for Christmas, but I purposefully left off any sentiment or image so it could also be for just about anything else. I was inspired by the way the red looks with the 'vanilla' of the sweet puppy.

There are a few 'flaps' to this card. I tried to capture all the elements for you.
