Final week for September's Challenge: Greetings and Salutations

 The TWIST of course is to have a stencilled background

The inspiration for this week is a vintage feel Christmas card

You can see how it was made here

This week we are knee deep in spring - with snow and sun and rain and blue skies and wind.....
