Happy Days Together

Welcome

I love this sweet image and wanted to use it to make a card.

Meet the new for June stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Patterned Noise

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and got out the Patterned Noise stencil. I laid the stencil flat over a paper towel and rubbed Ripe Persimmon and some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink directly over the whole back of the stencil.  
• Next, I sprayed with some Rubbing Alcohol and then pressed the stencil onto white cardstock. I lifted the stencil off and let the piece dry.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti to stamp the sweet image and the sentiment along the bottom.
• Using a wet paintbrush, I added some of the Ripe Persimmon DOX ink to the clothes.
• I glued the finished card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then black and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• To finish my card off, I added 2 black gems on either side of the sentiment.

Good Morning

It's been such a fun month creating with the new stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.

So I decided to make another card featuring the new for JUNE stencil called:

Rope Trellis

Here's what I did.

• I placed the Rope Trellis stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
• I shifted the stencil over and inked it up again with some Salty Ocean DOX ink to create the fun pattern.
• Next, I used a blue fine line marker and added the straight lines over the pattern.
• I die cut a white square using a square stitched die and glued it right over the middle of my card front.  
• I looked through my scraps and found this navy cardstock. I cut it into strips and glued it around the edges of the white square in the middle.
• While that dried, I die cut a white circle and stamped the sentiment onto it in my Misti.  I glued that onto another larger navy die cut circle.  
• I glued my finished card panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then navy and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I added the circle die cut sentiment over the middle and finished off my card by adding 3 navy gems under it.

Here is a fun little card I made using the newly mid-month release stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

PATTERNED NOISE

Here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and using a Dot Circle die, I cut 2 circles right in the middle of my cardstock.
• I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the birthday greeting over the die cut circles.
• Next, I placed the Patterned Noise stencil over the stamped panel and then inked just around the sentiment with some Distress Oxide inks in these colours....Wilted Violet, Cracked Pistachio, Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, Peacock Feathers and some Fossilized Amber.
• I glued the inked panel onto a piece of white cardstock and then I used a black fine line marker to fill in the areas of the sentiment that were over the die cut circles. Hope that makes sense!
• I glued my card front onto a piece of purple cardstock and then onto a 4 1/4" white square card base.
• The last thing I did was to add 3 black gems around the sentiment.

Hello and Welcome

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

Rope Trellis

Here's what I did to get the look.

• I placed the Rope Trellis stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
• I cleaned the stencil off, shifted it to the right and inked again with some Wilted Violet DOX ink.
• Next, I turned the stencil totally sideways and inked again with more of the Wilted Violet DOX ink to create this fun woven looking background.
• While that dried, I die cut the Flower Squares with some white cardstock and backed them with a small piece of clear vellum so they would show up better against the background.
• I placed the stenciled card front into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and glued the flowers across the front.
• I glued the finished panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then purple and then onto a white A2 sized card base.

I have to begin by saying how fun this card was to make.

Meet the new for JUNE stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

AIRY BUBBLES

This is how I created my card.

• I began by first cutting a piece of white cardstock and I die cut 3 Dot Circles of different sizes, along the outside edges of my cardstock.
• Next, I masked around the circles and then placed Airy Bubbles stencil over it and inked with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• I moved the masks to the other side of the circles and then inked again with some Wilted Violet DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and all the masks and placed the piece into my Misti to stamp the Grid first and then the sentiment across the middle of the panel.
• I glued my finished card front panel onto a piece of white, then purple cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I added 3 black gems around the sentiment to finish my card off.

Feel the Sun on Your Face

Hello and Welcome

I decided to make a card by combining 2 new for JUNE stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

VIBRANT SUNSET and LAPPING WAVES

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Vibrant Sunset stencil over it.  I masked off between the waves and the sun and I inked up the sun with some Fossilized Amber and some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, I moved the masks to cover over the sunshine. I inked up the waves with some Tumbled Glass DOX ink, shifted the stencil and inked again with some Broken China DOX ink.
• Leaving the stencil ink place, I put the Lapping Waves stencil over it and inked with some Salty Ocean DOX ink. By adding the additional inking, the waves had so much more movement and interest.
• I placed my card front panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment, centering it under the sun.
• I glued my card front onto a piece of white cardstock and then onto some blue and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I added 2 black gems on either side of the sentiment to finish my card off.

Meet 2 of the new for JUNE stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Lapping Waves and Two Sea Panels

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

• I started by creating the sailboat panel first. I inked up my Gel Plate with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink, placed one the images from the  Two Sea Panels Stencil onto the plate and rubbed my cardstock over that to transfer the image.
• I trimmed it down, glued it onto a piece of white cardstock and set that aside.
• For the background, I inked up my Gel Plate again with some Mermaid Lagoon and some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink, then placed the Lapping Waves stencil onto my plate and rubbed to transfer the pattern.  I lifted the stencil and rubbed my paper over it again, creating this fun background.
• I glue the waves background onto a piece of white cardstock, then blue and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the boat panel up over to the side.  
• I die cut the sentiment and glued it onto the other side to finish my card off.
