Funky Fossil Designs "Baroque" stencilled Card

I came across a piece of white card in my stash of an odd size.  Too big to bin, too small for a card itself.  It wasn't even wide enough to make an ATC, so I decided to make a quick card by creating a stencilled central panel, balanced out by a co-ordinating piece of cardstock.

I used "Garden Patina" Archival Ink through the Funky Fossil  Designs "Baroque" stencil ensuring that the main design was in the centre of the piece of card.  I found some cardstock in a similar shade to the ink and mounted the stencilled panel on top of it.  I then adhered this panel on to my white card blank.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the sentiment which is part of a stamp set by Funky Fossil Designs called "Small Print 2" on a small off-cut of white card, cut it to size then mounted it on a piece of the same cardstock used for the stencilled panel and adhered into position.

This card really was a quick make.  Even taking into account the time looking for an appropriate stencil, cardstock and stamp, it took a maximum of ten minutes.  I love cards like this!

I forgot to mention, we had a smattering of snow in the evening.  It was interesting to see Rosie re-enacting Bambi's first steps, as she skidded her way around the then frozen snow.  I'll leave you with that image!

For some reason, I have overlooked the anniversary of our friends, which is tomorrow.  I've made a quick card which will go in the post today, but even though it will go first class postage, it's unlikely to arrive in time. 

I have used the Funky Fossil "Beauty's Garden" stamp set for the central urn, stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

I masked off the urn and covered the stamped image, then used the Funky Fossil "Baroque" stencil with "Weathered Wood" Distress Oxide Ink, applied with a Funky Fossil blending brush.

The "Better Late Than Never" sentiment is part of the Simon Says Stamp set called "Tiny Words - Birthday", which is also stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.
