It's time for a new challenge at Less Is More. This time the theme is a one lsyer card using stencils. Just remember that there must be lots of clean white space on your card.

For my first card, I masked a rectangle using a stencil from A Colorful Life Designs Marvelous Masks Rectangles.

For my second card, I stenciled these wonderful crabs with Carta Bella's Crab Crawl stencil using three shades of Distress Oxide ink. I could have sworn I had a sentiment somewhere that said "Im sorry I was crabby". I spent an inordinate amount of time digging through my out of control stash for that stamp to no avail. I thought this sentiment from Ranger Dylusions Quote Bubble set was perfect.
