Then I set about making the stenciled strip. I used the rectangle stitch die to cut the long strip then started w\/ the swirl stencil &amp; used blues &amp; one purple ink. A light blue was blended across the entire panel. The large circles of \u00a0the bokeh (2 part) stencil was used with a little darker blue then the smaller circles using the darkest blue ink. Finally, the falling snow stencil was used w\/ white pigment ink. I used a heat tool to make sure it was completely dry before attaching it to a piece of white &amp; die cut w\/ the largest stitch rectangle. I also added a couple of blue border on top &amp; bottom w\/ the stitch edge cut die. The greeting was stamped below before I attached all the images.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Garden-Bday-xcu-IMG8994.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43787 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Garden-Bday-xcu-IMG8994.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"913\" height=\"634\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nHere are the Copics I used:<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Garden-Bday-copics-IMG9431.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43783 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Garden-Bday-copics-IMG9431.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"664\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Thanks <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">so much for stopping by!<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12715\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Supplies: \u00a0(click the names below the pictures to take you to the products)<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 177px;\" border=\"0\" width=\"724\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody id=\"collapseobj_photoinfo\">\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%;
