Circleville NSD Challenge~ The Itsy Bitsy Stencil

The challenge is to use your Cricut to make a stencil and put it use on your project.

My stencil~

I altered a Cricut Make It Now Bookshelf Backing project to make my stencil.

I simply used a Prima Dark Bark Inker to ink my paper.

I love the pattern it created and that it reminds me of the fencing in the background of Hartly’s Nursery School picture.

My layout~

Then I added layers of paper and embellishments following Sketch One from Kelly Purkey’s Sketchbook class to finish my layout.

Of course I ended up covering up much of my stenciled paper.

But, that’s okay.

A close-up~

I love the mixture of gold and vellum found in Maggie Holmes Flea Market and Styleboard collection.

I used~
