Something Different

Good Morning

Meet my card. 

 Trying something different to get a unique look using this fun stencil called Tribal Blanket and my Distress Oxide inks.  It's good to change it up now and again and I like to challenge myself to use what I have in a new way.

I decided to give this card a 'beachy' look by creating some waves. 

I began by cutting some printer paper into wavey lines to use as masks for my card front.

I placed one the wave masks onto my card, laid down the stencil and rubbed on some Salty Ocean DOX ink.

I lifted the mask and leaving some white space, masked the next area and stenciled in using the same stencil and some Peacock Feather DOX ink this time.  I repeated that process using some Blueprint Sketch and Cracked Pistachio at the bottom, each time leaving a bit of white space.

When that was all dry, I took my ScorBug which is a little tool that adds perforated dots, and scored along the wavy lines to add interest.

I die-cut the Happy Birthday sentiment 3 times from white cs, then glued them together to help give them stability and to raise them up on my card front.

I then glued it over my stenciling.

I added some Navy Sparkle Nuvo drops, then simply mounted it onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
