Stencils are something I haven't used on a card before. When I saw the Wave of Stars stencil by Create a Smile Stamps, it was a must have for me.

I'm following the the MFT challenge 275 sketch for today's card. I've had the MFT Birthday Centerpieces die for some time and I thought I should get it back out again.
