Stenciling with Pan Pastels

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing another card made from my stash of card fronts.

This is one of the backgrounds I made a few years back when crafting with my sweet friends Susan and Christine.  We were together working at Christine's house and she had us using stencils (Aspen Trees stencil by The Crafter's Workshop) with pan pastels.  The shimmer and shine from the pearlescent violet pan pastels is really amazing.  Hopefully you can see it in the photo above.  I simply added two torn snow hills, a silhouette deer (gift from another friend), and a sentiment (Season's Gifts - Penny Black) to finish off this card. 

I'm sending this over to CAS Christmas September Challenge that closes at the end of today.

I hope you are inspired to go through your stash of goodies and see what you can use to make a quick and easy card.  

Thanks for stopping by!
