For my reminder card, I've made my own oval stencil from a bit of advertising in the recycle bin, done simple sponging through the oval with Catherine Pooler Twilight ink, and over-stenciled with a Gina Marie stencil with DOX Weathered Wood.
Another new Spellbinder die highlights my little garden bed of a few more of those MFT Fall Florals, and a place for a tiny Everyday Puny sentiment.
I'll be by to see what you [and the design team] have planted in the CAS Stencil gallery! Thanks for spending a bit of time with me today!

A fabulous card Michele, I love the subtleness of the design, colours and simple small text sentiment. Cool how one can find some 'waste' to use as a stencil... and love the cut away oval die.. a simple and elegant card.. thanks for being a wonderful guest at CAS Stencil
