Whimsy and Ranger HOP

Come join the Instagram hop fun, and your chance to win some goodies. For my card I thought it would be cool to create my own background using a stencil and Ranger distress oxide inks. I didnt have the exact stencil I needed until I remembered I can create my own using a die. For this card I used the Slimline Hearts Background die. All you need to do is die cut using card stock and BAM! it can become your stencil.

The little scene has a great combination of a cute stamps and fabulous dies. I definitely would play with dies and ink to make my own stencil again. Go check out what the other creators came up with and be sure to comment throughout the Insta-hop. Details below.

Although this post is not officially part of the hop, I love your comments. You can hop along on Instagram in order for your chance to win.
