One of the great techniques from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer’s True Scrap Class Dirty Fingers Clean Design, (affiliate link) is this fun one using a stencil and paint to create a one of a kind background.

Don’t you just love how only three colors of paint and a foam sponge make this stenciled background rock? A few incidental stamps and a fussy cut focal image, and this card is DONE!

Today’s quick tip: Don’t let a lack of specific word stamps or letter stickers keep you from creating a one of a kind sentiment. Use a label maker or individual alpha stamps or rub ons to create your own sentiment. You could even create a sentiment on your computer, and print and trim it to add to your card. Experiment!

Don’t forget, if you want to get a card in the mail, make sure you’re on my email list!
