Hi friends! I have a non-traditional holiday card to share with you today, using PPP’s Leaves and Berries stencil.

I usually am experimenting with pastes and oxide inks together when using stencils, but this time I tried something different. I Blended Taylored Expressions Sea Salt Hybrid Ink over the stencil onto white card stock. This gave me a light pattern background, which I colored with Copic Markers. I used one of my favorite holiday color combinations for the background: dark green, light green, teal, blue, pink, and red.

Once I finished coloring, I trimmed the panel, then attached it to a card base. I stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from Joy stamp set, broke the sentiment up, and attached it to the card with foam squares.

Copic Colors Used:

• BG32, BG15, BG18, BG78
• YG01, YG05, YG17, G07
• G05, G17, G29
• B18, B06, B04, B02, B01
• RV17, RV14, RV13, RV23
• R39, R29, R24, R22
• C3

I hope I have given you a new way to use your stencils. Be sure to stop by the PPP shop to see their growing collection of stencils. Thanks so much for stopping by!
