AIRs Artists Choice::Kaleidacolor and Stencils!

Stencils seem to be everywhere in the crafting/art world right now.  There are so many styles and choices to choose from.  The Crafters Workshop (TCW) has always been one of my go to companies for stencils.  Good sturdy quality and a lot of designs, something for everyone.  Before it seemed like I could only find the tiny brass ones or the big goofy ones that go on the wall in a kid's room, now stencils seem very sophisticated!

For this all occasion card I decided to use one from TCW called "Climbing Vine", it measures 6" by 6".  I incorporated some wooden pieces and a laser cut word to complete it.  "Believe" is a powerful word that fits most any occasion or event.  I have included a supply list and a short tutorial if you're interested in making something like this for yourself.
