Stencil frame moose card

Hi.  Thanks for visiting.  Today I am sharing a stencil frame moose card.  This is similar to a previous project that I made using eclipse stenciling, but for this one, I added more blending for a rustic look.


Sentiment:
Wishing you a day full of wild surprises.

Since the background paper was dark green, I added even more of the ink blending during the masking process.
