Stencilled Wreath

 I recently joined an awesome Facebook Group called Share Handmade Kindness - started by the inspirational Jennifer McGuire.   It's a friendly, happy group.  And they have started a monthly Technique Throwback challenge.  This month it's Stenciling - and Jennifer's video  Here is the inspiration.  My card today is a very CAS stencilled card 

I used Altenew Wonderful Wreath Stencil and Green Fields and Shadow Creek inks to add the greenery.  I used some Magenta ink to add the berries.  And some red gems to add texture. The sentiment is from Catherine Pooler sets called Good Thing.  I added some green striped PP and gold washi to one side and then used Gina K Master Layouts 2 to cut out the panel.  

I'm writing this while waiting for the government update - South Auckland has 3 community cases.  Just hoping that Auckland doesn't go back into lockdown.  

Take care out there people 💓

EDIT- 3 day Level 3 lockdown announced for Auckland and Level 2 through out the rest of the country.  So working from home for the next little while.

Gorgeous card Dawn, love the pretty stencilled leaves. Sorry to hear you are in Lockdown again, we have been in strict lockdown since Christmas but hoping things might get easier soon as both hubby and I have had our vaccinations along with most of the older population!!

such a pretty card Dawn - I joined that FB group too but so far haven't done anything with it - must get going and see what it's all about!

Love that wreath! What a pretty card, Dawn! The virus cases are decreasing & hopefully it will stay that way. We're about to get our vaccinations, so that at least gives hope of seeing family again.
