Kaleidoscope Flower


Welcome
Today's card was a fun one to create using my Gel Plate again and this cool Kaleidoscope Flower stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I got out my Gel Plate, brayer and some white cardstock.
  • I pressed my Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink pad directly onto the Gel Plate and brayered it smooth.
  • Next, I placed the Kaleidoscope Flower stencil onto the plate and rubbed over it with some scrap paper to lift some of the ink off.  I removed that and the stencil and rubbed my piece of white cardstock over the plate to pull the print. (using that stencil produced the white spots you see on the panel)
  • Using the same stencil, I laid the panel onto my Make Art Station and positioned the stencil over the inked panel but slightly moved it over and down and then inked with some more of the same purple ink.
  • I placed the inked panel into my Misti and stamped the Grid over the whole thing and then splattered with my white Posca pen.
  • When the panel was dry, I die cut the sentiment from the center and the word shadow with some white cardstock.
  • I glue the panel onto an A2 card base and popped the sentiment back into place in the middle.

Friendship


Welcome
Today's card was a fun one.  
I thought of all we can look forward to seeing Spring's arrival and this newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Wildflowers inspired me.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock and got out my Gel Plate.
  • I pressed my Mustard Seed Distress Oxide pad directly onto the middle of my Gel Plate.  Along the bottom I pressed some Carved Pumpkin DOX ink and along the top some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink. Using my brayer, I blending the colours together.  
  • Next, I placed the Wildflowers stencil onto the plate and rubbed over it with my cardstock to take the print.
  • When the panel was dry, I placed it into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and clear heat embossed it.
  • I glued the finished piece onto a piece of white, then a piece of red cardstock, then onto an 5 x 5" card base.

Happy New Baby


Welcome
Today's card features this adorable newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called
  Layered Bunny Faces.  Perfect for Easter or I chose to make a baby card using it.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I put a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Part #1 of the Layered Bunny Faces stencil over that.  I inked up the pink bunnies first, down the center of the cardstock panel using some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.  
  • I cleaned off the stencil and then repositioned it to ink up the blue bunnies along the sides using some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
  • I removed Stencil #1 and positioned the second stencil (the face details) over the bunny heads and inked them up with some black ink....so cute
  • Next, I got out the Layered Rainbow Love stencil (January release) as I wanted to fill in some of the open areas.  Using just the hearts from that stencil and some more of the inks mentioned above, I inked up the hearts in the open areas between the bunnies.
  • I removed the heart stencil and used a pencil eraser to add the dots for fun.
  • I got out this fun die from Heffy Doodle and cut the outline of the words from the stenciled panel.  I also cut the sentiment with some white cardstock.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
  • I glued the sentiment onto the shadow piece and then pop dotted those back into place.
