Stenciled Flurry

Oo, what a super challenge at this week's Merry Monday #158!  To use STENCILS!  And I already have an idea of how to combine it with this week's dramatic Nacho Average Challenge #141 - yay!
So, I had an idea burning in my brain all week to try for this one - that involved NO STAMPING!  Lol, I can count on one hand the number of times I've made cards like that, but, well, I don't think the stenciling qualifies, so there it is.  I'm not sure how well I executed my cunning plan, or maybe I'm just not that good at stenciling (natch!)  In any event, for first pass needed a little something more, so I went back and put on the darkest snowflakes - with a left-over diecut sheet from the Simply Snowflake Paper Pumpkin.  I had to make my "Merry" darker to go with, but I like better now.  And it was super quick!
