Just Us Girls challenge #846 - ATG Stencil Week

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I am back to share my card for this week's Just Us Girls challenge and it's Stencil Week and Bobby has given us the simple theme of 'anything goes'. We all love our stencils don't we so I'm sure this is going to be a really popular week. I cannot wait to see all your gorgeous creations.

I used a stencil that I've had in my stash for quite a while and never used.  It's a lovely bold stencil with large snowflakes and I couldn't resist doing a red and white card today.  I even did some fussy cutting, but don't look too closely at that lol!.  I hope you like it. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4 and stencilled the beautiful snowflakes using a red ink pad.  I also stencilled just one of the snowflakes onto a scrap of white card and fussy cut it out.  I used a stitched rectangle die and cut down the background plus I also cut a black mat layer.  So that my fussy cut snowflake wouldn't look lost against my background I cut a strip of white card and used the stitched rectangle die to cut it so that the decorative edge would match the background panel; I also added a black mat layer.  I placed it across the centre of the background with liquid glue.  The snowflake was added to the left of the strip using foam squares and I stamped a sentiment next to it using black ink.  I finished off with a few black pearls.  The panel was adhered to my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I die cut another stitched rectangle panel and black mat layer.  I stencilled the snowflakes along the bottom of the white panel and added a black strip of card along the top for a more finished look.  I adhered the panels together with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and added the panel to my card base using double sided tape.
