Old and new

Hello and Happy New Year everyone.

I've been playing with my new Snowflake Stripe layering stencils that I snagged during the Black Friday sale at Simon Says Stamp. My order arrived just before Christmas, yay.


I did some simple ink blending with one colour of ink (It's a boy, Catherine Pooler), varying the intensity and paired the new stencils with a NBUS STAMPlorations/CUTplorations die that I bought over 2 years ago but never used before.

I'm linking up my card at:
