Stencil Fun IG Hop - November 26

Hello friends; I here to share my card for the Stencil Fun IG Hop organised by my lovely friend Jane. We are a group of crafters who are determined to use their forgotten and neglected stencils. I'm definitely guilty of this; I have so many stencils but usually forget to reach for them so this hop is perfect for me. The theme is always anything goes but we will have an optional theme to use if we want to. This month's optional theme is 'trees' and I'm sure there will be lots of fantastic creations. I'm excited to see what everyone has made.

I recently picked up an older tree stencil from MFT on sale without even thinking about this hop so I was pleasantly surprised when I realised I could use it for this month's card.  I used a couple of cute images to go with it and I think it turned out adorable.  I hope you like it too. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Another view to try and show the gold & white spatter:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and using three different shades of green ink I ink blended the tree stencil.  Whilst the stencil was still in place I added gold and white spatters for some extra interest.  I stamped the images onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured them with Promarkers and added some white gelly roll pen highlights.  I don't have the dies so I fussy cut them out.  I white heat embossed the sentiment onto black card and used a fishtail banner die to cut it out. I added the images and sentiment with foam squares onto the background and finished off with some faux enamel dots (circles die cut from red card covered with packing tape) that were left over from another project.  The panel was then adhered to my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and ink blended onto the bottom third using whatever green ink was left on my brush; I also added some gold and white spatter here too.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and added the panel onto my card base using double sided tape.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
