The card above uses a very subtle, small green check paper as the background. I sponged over top through a NBUS poinsettia stencil that I bought recently. I love how it turned out! I used the whole 6"x6" sheet of checked paper to stencil. I only used a portion of it for the card above.

I used a leftover piece to create a second card ...
Cut a square and added a stitched white frame and sentiment to finish.
