What a morning... I decided I really liked Kia's option for the challenge today. In the end it was decided to go with making 4th or Canada Day cards. It still fits the challenge but I also wanted to do Kia's idea of making your own stencil suggestion plus the red maple leaf. I had the Your Next Stamp hockey player which I thought would work. I also wanted to try the ghosting technique with a stencil that Loll Thompson has done. I made a stencil with the MFT grid die and another one with the maple leaf die from Your Next Stamp. I sponged inside the grid die stencil and layered the maple leaf stencil over it and used a damp paper towel to dab over that. I quickly removed the stencils and let it dry. In the end I wanted a little more dimension so I used a 1 inch square to punch out the grid. I used another grid to adhere my squares to the card to keep them straight. I cut the sentiment apart and stamped and die cut it out with a word bubble die from Lawn Fawn.
