Here are two cards made with the same stencil and dies. The stenciling was done with two different types of markers.

Classy Doily Cards
Classy Doily is not a new stamp, but it is one that I really like to use on cards. It can be stamped on a die-cut made for it with the Artiste Cricut cartridge, or fussy cut as above, or stamped on a base as shown in a couple of the examples below. The card…
