ATSM #515 - Diecuts and/or Stencils

Come join us for the Addicted to Stamps & More! Diecuts and/or Stencils Challenge #515.

For my card, I had borrowed the Concord & 9th 2026 Winter Retreat kit from a friend of mine recently. Really pretty but I recalled quite quickly that I'm rubbish at lining up solid stamps.

So I made my own stencils. It took a lot of learning and tweaking but finally done. I did not expect a 3D printer to be able to print these--talk about unexpected bonus!

There's a total of 6 stencils that can be combined in different ways for really cool results if I must say so myself. Over the moon proud of myself!

I'm also entering this one in Seize the Birthday #324 Make a Spring Garden. I haven't played along with another challenge in a coon's age!
