I think the days of the week stencil from the Basically Essential stencil pack #2 by Teresa Collins Designs is so cute! I was inspired to use it because of this fun sentiment by Mama Elephant. It was sitting on my desk and I thought they'd be a perfect pair!
I used the Basically Essential modeling paste by Teresa Collins Designs over my stencil and let it dry. Next, I pulled out some of my Stampin' Up! ink pads and watercolored over the days of the week using 2 colors for each day. The bright colors are so pretty and vivid in real life! I love the way they look over the kraft card base.
I cut a piece of vellum into a circle and then stamped my sentiment using Staz On ink. I added a scallop border along the bottom (Lawn Fawn paper and Reverse Confetti die) and then wrapped a bit of twine from SRM around it, ending in a bow. I added a few epoxy hearts from We R Memory Keepers to embellish my sentiment.
