Hello

This enchanting card, born from a delightful challenge, has captured my heart. Tasked with using a stencil, I embarked on this creative quest with a panel, lovingly crafted with the hues of Distress Sprays. The stencil, like a guiding star, illuminated the path to add a layer of enchanting gloss.

As the spellbinding layer dried, a cheerful "hello" was die-cut from a scrap of the mesmerizing background, casting its own black cardstock shadow. A whisper of sheer ribbon graced the light gray, and the sentiment itself became the adhesive force that bound it all together.

With a final touch, the panel embraced a piece of midnight-black cardstock, completing the magical creation.

Enchanting elements: White and black cardstock, Tim Holtz – Distress Spray, Stencil, and Simon Says Stamp – Hello.

A fascinating tidbit: The now-familiar greeting "hello" when answering a telephone call is said to have been inspired by Thomas Edison. Legend has it that he misheard the word "Hullo" and, to his surprise, unknowingly introduced a new way of communication.

Happy Crafting,
Nina
