WT937 = Rescue something that was somehow messed up.
My stencilled background piece was sitting in a pile on my desk, unused since I made it months ago because it had some smudges on it. To create it, I had placed my stencil over my cs and then die cut a circle out of scrap paper and laid that over top of the stencil and then blended Speckled Egg and Antique Linen through the stencil. Removed the stencil and the scrap circle and was left with a nice circle background. Somehow I then got some black smudges on it so set it aside and never used it.
When I came back to it, I stamped the two hares in black over some of the smudges and added TH clippings stickers over two of the smaller smudges. To add interest, I stamped the berry branch over the top of the circle. Finished by adding a "missing you" stamped sentiment, popped the panel up on the card base with fun foam, and finished by going over the berries with a pearl pen.
It's going to my cousin in England and I've written a note in the card about all my memories of our last visit together. She is more like a sister than a cousin and before Covid, we'd seen each other every year either here or over there. We really miss each other - hopefully some time this year I'll be going over to England to see her!

Way to save a card. This is beautiful with the hares and beautiful berry branch. Love the stencilling, also. Sure hope you can see your cousin this year. I know you've made great memories together.

Beautiful! I never would have know that you were rescuing anything if I hadn't read the write-up. I went and checked out my favorite Lavinia stamps website after seeing this, as well - I hadn't looked for a while and there are a lot of wonderful new stamps! I like that you added pearl pen "berries" - nice touch!
