I have been playing with the Perfectly Plaid stamp set again. I had been looking on Pinterest, however, most of the cards use the punch and I wanted to create a few more cards using the Stamp Set. Also I have not ordered any Christmas Designer Series Paper yet, so wanted to delay the punch example cards until I have. I have not ordered yet, as I am a discount shopper rather than a purely business demonstrator, so I split my craft budget throughout the year.
I pulled out one of my favourite stencils called in the forest by a cute English brand called UNIKO and was playing with colour combinations. All the combinations that I have used can be found in the Colour Combinations Gallery.
Gold, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade and Sahara Sand

Tips and tricks
Ensure that the stencil is stuck down properly
hold the stencil to ensure minimal movement
remove the excess ink before using the dauber to ensure no stripy images
ensure the twine is secure - otherwise will be loose and lines will not be straight
Evening Evergreen, Silver and Soft Succulent.
My favourite colour combination is Evening Evergreen, Silver and Soft Succulent. I can’t wait for my next order to do some more cards using this combination. What is your favourite?
