Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge

The last couple of months have been interesting ( not necessarily fun)   Almost everything on my computer disappeared.   By googling articles on such happenings and with the help of dear adult daughter--I've retrieved almost of it, still working on some things.    I had to get the key from Visual Watermark resent to me, but that is working well now.   Now on to today's card (a Plain Jane if I must say so myself)   the last challenge of November at 52CCT22-44 was to use a stencil....For some odd reason I had ordered some background stencils and tree stencils a couple of years ago from Amazon.   I actually don't ever recall using a stencil ever in my cardmaking so this was out of my comfort zone.   So I decided to keep it simple for sure.  I absolutely love SU papers from 2021 Occasions (Peaceful Cabin) so that it is what I used and I have the sequins from (Sweetest Christmas) SU 2022 Occasions....the colors that I see in these are  Sweet Sorbet and (Shaded Spruce) not garden green which is what the catalog says.    In addition to Fifty Two Card Throwdown  I am sharing at TICTACTOE and CraftyHazelnut's Christmas paperned paper challenge.

Thanks for stopping in and I welcome comments...I have to say this card has grown on me!   I stated a few days ago mulling over my options.     I will try to keep "stenciling" in my technique repertoire and hopefully get better at it!.               Smiles,   Kathy
