4 Faces = 4 Cards

My new "4 Faces" stencil is quickly becoming one of my faves!

Stencil

I've been using it lots and lots!  Recently I used it to make a set of four greeting cards.

The card backgrounds are leftover scraps of stenciled paper.  I love using up my leftovers! You can see that I used lots of foam adhesive to pop the stenciled faces and the sentiments off the background.  It's amazing how much a bit of dimension can do!  The sentiments were stamped from two hand carved stamps, but you could also print them up on your computer and cut them out.  Super duper easy and quick cards!

Thanks for stopping by!
