I Can't Believe It's a Stencil! Card Making...
Making Nesting Doll Cards
I've always been drawn to the playfulness and layers of people and their stories represented by nesting dolls. Being of mostly eastern European descent, I have a little collection of them, and find myself looking for them when we travel. They remind me of the layers of ourselves as people, and how we are incomplete without relationship with one another. They remind me to be thankful and make me smile. Every Christmas I get out all the nesting dolls, with their layers, and they have a party on the piano or mantle.
My daughter asked me one day, would you make a nesting doll stencil? I want to make some cards and art and it would be so much easier if I had a stencil. So I did...
