Just Us Girls #790 -- ANYTHING GOES STENCIL Week



Join us! It is ANYTHING GOES STENCIL week at Just Us Girls.  Carol Mayne is challenging us to use a stencil in our card creations this week.  The stencil I used for the above card is from a fairly new-to-me stencil source, Killer Zebras.  I have bought several of their stencils and love all of them so far.  Killer Zebras is a cookie decorating site that sells cookie cutters, cookie decorating supplies, and cookie stencils.  Cookie stencils are made of the same material and are slightly smaller (5.5" x 5.5"), but cheaper, than most cardmaking stencils. 

I stenciled the three layers of these sweet giraffes. Since the stencil panel is slightly smaller than an A2 card, I trimmed and layered for adhering to the card base.  The sentiment is die cut and layered on vellum.  So simple. I made a dozen of these cards for donation to the First Baptist New Mother Initiative at my hometown hospital. First Baptist women put together baby baskets for every new mother, and a personal wish is added to each card.
