Good Morning all! Helen here with a little project for you today! I hope you are all enjoying a relaxing holiday season! Even through these hectic times, you still need to find a little “ME” time to create! So today… I am showing you a fast easy project to do!

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own.
All you need are a few things to create some fun art cards to send to your friends! I LOVE snarky… so this is where I am going today!
Gather some cardstock paper… I used 110 lb white cardstock… you can use anything at all! Grab your favorite stencils and some spray ink or acrylic sprays. I used quite a few different stencils from The Crafters Workshop….
- TCW915 Hibiscus stencil
- TCW924 Lush Petals stencil
- TCW875 Pine Needle Print stencil
- TCW908m Handcut Blossom stencil
- TCW767 Floral Radar stencil
- TCW2166 Posies in a Row stencil
- TCW5036 Flower Field stencil

Next step- get messy! I started with the lightest spray inks and randomly sprayed them though different stencils over my sheets of cardstock. I had about 8 sheets of cardstock I was working on and continued to spray using the inks and stencils as I saw fit. Whatever makes your heart soar is good! They may look like a hot mess, but they make amazing backgrounds!

Once these dried, I cut them down to 4.5” x 6.5”; added some word stamping using black archival ink; added my ladies; some washi tape that matched; and a little snarky saying! Easy Peasy and it was a blast to get messy and create for a little bit during the holidays! A perfect “ME” time project!
