Welcome to the StencilGirl Blog Hop featuring StencilGirl Artist Mary C. Nasser. If you have arrived from my friend Carolyn Dube's blog you are on the right track :) If not, you can start the list below from the beginning to make sure to not miss out on any of the fun!
In addition to being a fellow StencilGirl Artist, Mary is one of my teammates on StencilGirl Talk and I couldn't be happier to be on both teams of StencilGirl with her! If you know anything about Mary's art, you will know that it is all about the MAPS to her! It was no surprise that her stencil debut were intricate map designs!
My project today started with a piece of scrapbook paper...scrapbook paper that I was about to put in my "giveaway pile". But! then I remembered Mary's stencils and it came together within seconds! I have to say this probably one of the quickest projects I've done in a LONG time for me to share with you BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Here is my scrapbook paper. A sheet of postcards. If you don't happen to have a piece like this--don't worry. You can either run a piece of paper through your printer or use one of the many postcard stamps on the market.
I cut the postcards apart. Instant 6 postcards. Now time to embellish!
I took 6 pieces of book paper from a pocket novel and stenciled using Mary's Map 6 S161 stencil.

EASY!
I glued the stenciled pieces of book paper onto the front of the postcards. I then used an stamp from my stash that said Journey to embellish the sides of the card.
I then turned the card over and on the printed side of the card I used Mary's Latitude and Longitude Stencil S160 to embellish the card.
There you have it! Easy, quick and ready to send out! This project and stencils are going into my favorites list!
