Greetings! I’ve got a Christmas card to share that uses the new Holly Squares Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. This is a great stencil to make fast backgrounds with, and I decided to use it on some patterned paper.

The paper I used with the stencil has subtle, illegible writing on it, so it doesn’t overpower the stenciled design at all. I used Mowed Lawn and Lumberjack Plaid Distress Inks to ink it up.
I tore a piece of plaid paper and adhered it on top of the stenciled background. Then I used the Merry Sentiments Clear Stamps & Dies from Lisa Horton and Spellbinders with the plaid, some white, and Kraft cardstock.
This is a very simple card design, but it’s really effective. It’s a great one to duplicate and to even switch out the papers and the stencil. This would be a great card to make as a set and give as a gift. Please visit A Colorful Life Designs to see this month’s release.
