Before we talk stencils, I should mention that we are having a little hop today to share the latest Essentials by Ellen release (peek at the whole awesome release HERE)! If you are hopping with us, you should be arriving from my wonderful friend Mindy Baxter's blog!
Today's DIY stencil really solved two problems...
- I can never remember to order a wave stencil but now I don't need to!
- And this stencil is reusable but I won't feel too bad about staining it with dark ink or not quite getting all the glitter off. If it becomes too much of a mess, I can toss it in the bin and make a new one!
Your next hop stop is the sweet & talented Emily Midgett's blog. And EH is also giving away prizes!!! One random & lucky commenter will win $25 to the EH shop and one will win the whole July Essentials by Ellen release!!! To enter for a chance to win, make sure to leave comments at each stop along the hop! Comment before Thursday, July 18th at 11:59pm PST. Winners will be notified by email.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
Carly

I got such a chuckle out of the saying on your octopus card. Both of your cards are colourful & such fun & I really like the addition of the glimmer paste in the water. What a great look & a great tip. This is the best release in my mind as for the first time, I can say I want it all.
