This card is inspired by Merry Monday challenge #277 + Hand Stamped Sentiments #283 + Create with Connie and Mary #497, plus some older supplies I found in my supplies while cleaning (old Stampin' Up! Christmas rub-ons and Queen & Co. felt border).
The Merry Monday challenge called for the use of a stencil. I couldn't decide between two options, so I used them both! The Zig Zag Dots stencil for the background with gold glitter paste from Nuvo, and the Bricked stencil on the side of my sentiment square. The big bold sentiment is one of the rub-ons I found in the Old Saint Nick pack.
While I like all of the various elements of my card separately, I think all together, the card might feel a little busy. I need to sleep on it to see how I feel about it with a fresh eye.
