Greetings for the Season

Good Morning
Today's card features an older stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:
Such a unique and interesting stencil to play with.
So, here's what I did to create my card.

To begin, here are the measurements for my card.
I decided to make a Side Fold card using the stencil so I began by prepping my card base.  Here is how I did that:
- Base: cut a piece of cardstock 9 3/4" x 4 1/4"
- Score the base at 4 1/4"\

- Stamped Panel Front measures 3 3/4"  
- Side Panel measures 1 1/2" x 3 3/4"

** MY STENCILED PANELS ARE A BIT SMALLER AS I ADDED A BORDER AROUND**

  • I placed the Tribal Fabric stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Salvaged Patina and some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
  • I cleaned the stencil off and then masked just the center area with the lines on it and inked again with more of the Cracked Pistachio DOX ink, creating a grid effect for the trees.
  • I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti to stamp the tree line and then splattered with my white Posca pen.
  • I cut the panel into the sizes mentioned above and glued them onto a white card base.
  • I stamped the sentiment and then glued it onto a green die cut circle.

Here is the stencil I used:
