Wishing You Well

 

Hello and Welcome

Today's card is a simple one to create.

I used the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Mid Century Breeze Squares

So, here's how I created my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Mid Century Breeze Squares stencil over that.  
• I wanted to make each square a different colour, so I masked off the first one and inked with some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
• I moved the mask and inked again with some Peacock Feathers DOX ink.  I repeated that same process again, inking this time with some Wilted Violet DOX.  
• I removed the stencil and I used the Hemstitch die to cut a frame around the edge.
• I die cut the sentiment with some purple cardstock, then some white cardstock 4 more times as I wanted to make a stacked sentiment.
• I glued my stenciled card base onto a piece of white cardstock, then purple, then finally onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment over the middle area of my card base and added 3 purple gems around it.

Good Morning.

Here's a simple, monochromatic card I made using the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Mid Century Star Balls

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed the Mid Century Star Balls over a piece of white cardstock and inked using some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
• When the ink was all dry, I used a fine line black marker to draw a border around the edge to add interest.
• Next, I stamped the sentiment with more of the Picked Raspberry ink and used some clear embossing powder to heat set it. I die cut that out.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of white cardstock, the onto a piece of pink and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I popped the sentiment over my card front with some foam dots.

Hello and Welcome

Meet the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Mid Century Double Rainbow

I decided to make a more masculine black and white card, so here's what I did.

• For my this card, I began by getting out my Gel Plate.  I pressed my Black Soot Distress Oxide ink pad directly onto the plate and I used my brayer to spread the ink evenly.
• I place the Mid Century Double Rainbow stencil over that, then rubbed a piece of white cardstock over the stencil to create the print.
• I repeated the steps mentioned above, but this time I turned the stencil sideways and printed right over the first one to create this pattern.  I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry. 
• I die cut a circle from the middle of the dried panel and cut another circle from a piece of black cardstock and glued them together.
• I die cut the sentiment from some black cardstock and the word shadow from a piece of white and glued those together.
• I glued my card front panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of black and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the large circle back into place, matching up the pattern and then glued the sentiment over that.

Meet this new geometric stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Bauhaus

So here's what I did to create my card.

• Today, I thought I would look through my patterned papers where I found this blue check paper.  That was my starting point.
• I placed the Bauhaus stencil over the patterned paper and inked it up with some Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, I die cut the flowers with some white cardstock.  I die cut a circle with a piece of navy cardstock, then some blue to match the stenciled panel and glued those together.
• I cut my white cardstock base with a top fold design, then scored and glued my stenciled piece so it wrapped around from the front to the back.  I trimmed the edges with a narrow piece of the blue cardstock to give it a more finished look.
• Finally, to finish off my card, I used some foam tape to add the flower circle over my card front.

Hello Friend

Welcome

Today, I'm playing the the newly releases stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

Mid Century Atomic Strands

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed the Mid Century Atomic Strands stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil, cleaned it off and flipped in the other direction. This time, I inked it up with some Prize Ribbon DOX ink.
• To created my white card base, I cut a piece of cardstock that was 4 1/4" wide by 9 3/4" long and scored it at 5 1/2".
• I cut my stenciled card panel into a 4x4" piece and the left over piece at 1". I glued those onto a piece of blue cardstock and then into place on my card base.  **NOTE:  I decided to cut down the above mentioned panels so I could add the other pieces of cardstock behind them.
  
• I took a scrap piece of white cardstock and rubbed my Prize Ribbon DOX pad right onto the paper.  When that was dry, I used it to die cut my sentiment and glued that onto a white die cut word shadow.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the center of the panel to finish my card off.

Today's card features just one of the new stencils for August from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Bauhaus Pinwheels

Here's how I used that stencil to create my card.

• I began by getting out my Gel plate and a piece of white cardstock.
• I pressed my Distress Oxide ink pads right onto the plate using these colours:  Villainous Potion, Prize Ribbon and some Blueprint Sketch. I took my brayer and blended them together.
• Next, I placed the Bauhaus Pinwheels stencil onto the plate and rubbed over it with a scrap of paper to lift some of the ink.  I lifted that off along with the stencil and rubbed over the plate with the white cardstock to create the print.
• I placed the print into my Misti to stamp the image and the sentiment and clear heat embossed them to make them pop.
• I glued my card front onto a piece of pale blue cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.

Good Morning

Today's card was a fun, simple one using 2 of the new for August stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Bauhaus Poster and Bauhaus Circle Mask

So, here's what I did to create my layered stencil card.

• I placed the Bauhaus Poster stencil on an angle over a piece of white cardstock and inked one side with some Ripe Persimmon  Distress Oxide ink and the other side with some Picked Raspberry DOX ink.
• I wanted to add more interest to the background, so I left that stencil in place and put the Bauhaus Circle Mask right over the top.  I inked over the orange with some Carved Pumpkin and the pink side with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.
• I place my stenciled card front into my Misti to stamp the image which I clear heat embossed to help it show up better against the busy background.
• I set that aside and die cut the sentiment 5 times with some black cardstock and glued them together, creating a stacked sentiment.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then some pink and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I glued the sentiment into the top corner to finish off my card.
