Just us Girls #711 - Stencils

One of the 'new' things at Just us Girls this year is the addition of stencils to their lineup - I love it!  

There are plenty of stencils in my stash, but during my annual reorganization, I came across a few of these gorgeous butterflies that were foiled and stenciled at my friend Marcia's... gosh it could be two years ago!  But they never disappoint.  I found another stamp/stencil from Pinkfresh Studio that works a charm for a garden where one might find just such a butterfly... see if you can find him...



These were the inks I could match to that butterfly!
After stenciling, I stamped the image using that Queen for a Day
royal blue ink - worked a charm for the sentiment, too!



Here it is nearly 11 am and I've yet to start the laundry - some things can wait!  But I better get this card in the JUGS #711 gallery before it closes!

Hope your week has started out with a little craftiness!

I did have to look twice for your butterfly which was perfectly camouflaged amidst those beautiful blooms. I simply adore the inks you have used.
