My second card as a guest designer at Seize the Birthday and the challenge this time is to use a stencil and keep the card clean and simple.
My stencil was a hand made one gifted to me by a talented card crafter and is similar to the fleur de lis in pattern. I used stencil butter called Ocean Mist by TCW to do mine. As I had viewed a card on Pinterest that incorporated some drawn circles and a partial frame, I decided to try it on my card. I traced around the inside of two dies to get them as good as possible and used a T-ruler to do the partial frame. I’m not sure it was a good idea although it isn’t absolutely horrible. In retrospect I’m thinking using gray pen or pencil may have been a better choice.
The sentiment is from an incentive stamp set by GKD and I cut it into 3 to make it work better on my card. We look forward to seeing your amazing creations in the gallery and above all have fun!
Thanks for stopping by, your time and your comments are always appreciated.

I think the addition of your circles is genius. I do love how they look over the stenciling. It’s a very delicate clean and simple card. I do like your idea of the Gray circles. I think both would be very interesting. I love this look
