No Regrets

Here's an encouragement card created for A Colorful Life Designs with their Woman's Back 3" x 6" Stencil and their  Cloud Edger 6" x 6" Stencils. When I saw the Woman's Back" Stencil, I immediately thought that it would be wonderful to use to create encouragement/empowerment cards or journal pages. I also thought that adding stamped images to her back would enhance the theme of the card/page.

Here's my first card using the Woman's Back 3" x 6" Stencil,  the Cloud Edger 6" x 6" Stencils, and both a key and a heart from the Wild Hearts Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set by Katkin Krafts.
