Hi Crafty Meraki friends....it's Michelle back with you today sharing 2 cards using my absolute favourite technique using stencils! I decided to use the new and fabulous Lucky Lanterns Stencil for this. This is such an easy and really technique, that you really only need a stencil and pigment powders for. Let's get started, shall we!
Start by cutting a piece of watercolour paper to 6x6 or just slightly larger, you want it to at least be the size of the stencil. Spray the back of the stencil really well with temporary spray adhesize and adhere the stencil to the watercolour paper. Pick out a colour palette of pigment powders that go nicely together and won¨t turn muddy. I used Lindy's Gang Magicals, but can't remember what colours I used...I just picked a bunch that go well together. Sprinkle the powders evenly over the stencil, trying to get more over the design than on the negative space on it. Do not add too much, as they will spread.
Spray the stencil to activate the powderts, but do not drench the stencil, as you don't want water seeping under the stencil design. After about 5-10 secs, dab and wipe off the excess water with a paper towel. Remove the stencil and set the paper aside to dry. Be careful at first as the powders will still be wet.
I aczually didn't wipe off the excess water and powders from the stencil right away, as I didn't want to waste all of that colour. So without disturbing the stencil at all, I cut another piece of watercolour paper and placed the paper on top of the stencil. I pressed the paper into the water and pigment powders, being sure to get enough contact with it all, that they transfer well to the watercolour paper. I set that aside and allowed it to fully dry.
Once my 2 backgrounds were dry, I trimmed both to 4x5.25" and adhered to A2 cardbases. For the sentiments I diecut the Hi Stanalone Die from a dark cardstock and heat embossed it using Ebony Embossing Powder from WOW! Embossing. The shadow layer under the Hi was cut from vellum, as I didn't want too mich of these backgrounds to be covered. Add the diecut Hi's ot the backgrounds.
This is such a fun, easy and super cool technique to use with your stencils. I truly will never get tired of this, as the colour combinations are endless and it is so fun experimenting with all the different stenci designs. some are more successful than others....it's all trial and error. This technique is one that I rely on time and time again, when i want to showcase how gorgeous a stencil design is.
Thank you so much for joining me on the blog today. I hope that I have helped to inspire you in some way. I hope you all get some time to sit down and craft today and I wish you all the most wonderful and crafty day! Until next time, Michelle :)

Celta Vallecano
I’m at a loss for how to express this. My sister welcomed twin daughters in July, and I found myself in a difficult financial and emotional state. I am known as Celta Vallecano, and during my quest to find quick cash, I came across an advertisement claiming that Lord Meduza provides precise numbers to those genuinely selected for freedom from financial struggles through his genuine spell. I felt compelled to take a chance, and ever since reaching out to Lord Meduza, my life has significantly improved.. As I write this, I am now a winner of €375 Million Euros after adhering to all the guidance and utilizing the MEGA MILLIONS numbers provided by Lord Meduza. I want to express my gratitude for the fact that assistance is indeed possible, regardless of how difficult your circumstances may seem. I highly recommend him in case you require any assistance.

How to Maintain a Good Credit Report and FICO Score
Your credit report and FICO score play a huge role in your financial life. They determine whether you qualify for loans, credit cards, rental housing, and even some jobs. Keeping them in good shape isn’t just smart—it’s necessary for long-term financial stability.
Here are a few practical tips to maintain a healthy credit profile:
1. Pay your bills on time. Your payment history makes up the largest portion of your credit score. Setting up reminders or automatic payments can help you stay consistent.
2. Keep your credit utilization low. Try not to use more than 30% of your available credit. For example, if your card has a $5000 limit, aim to keep your balance below $1500.
3. Avoid unnecessary credit inquiries. Applying for too many loans or credit cards within a short time frame can lower your score. Only apply when it’s truly needed.
4. Check your credit report regularly. Mistakes or fraudulent accounts can drag your score down. Reviewing your report ensures you can dispute errors quickly.
5. Maintain a mix of credit. A healthy combination of credit cards, installment loans, and other accounts shows lenders you can manage different types of debt responsibly.
Still, even with your best efforts, credit problems can happen. Old debts, late payments, or inaccurate entries might be holding you back. That’s where professional help comes in.
If you need fast, reliable, and legitimate credit repair services, Credit Saint is highly recommended. They specialize in removing negative items, improving FICO scores, and helping people get back on track financially. You can contact them directly at MYCREDITSAINT@GMAIL.COM to get started.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin! My name is Justin Simporios from Surrey, B.C., and I just have to say a massive THANK YOU to Chief Ade for changing my life in a way I never thought possible. For years, I tried everything to get ahead, but nothing seemed to work. Then I came across his powerful lottery spell, and everything shifted. Not long after following his guidance, my numbers hit—and suddenly, I went from worrying about bills to holding a winning ticket in my hands! It still feels like a dream. Because of you, my family and I can finally live without stress, travel the world, and build the future we’ve always hoped for. Chief Ade, you are truly a blessing, and I will forever be grateful for your amazing help. Thank you for making what once felt impossible become my reality!"
