Sending You Peace


Happy Saturday
Another clean and simple card for the holidays.
I was inspired after checking out the IC Challenge today at Splitcoast and found this pin from the inspiration Pinterest Board of these vintage ornaments.

So here is what I did to create my card.
  • I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock, my Misti, Deco Foil Stencil Pat, inks and some small sponge dabbers.
  • I laid down the Stencil Pal and using Distress Oxide inks, I inked the lines on my card panel going in a diagonal fashion.  Super simple. The Distress Oxide colours I used were Shaded Lilac, Cracked Pistachio, Mustard Seed, Abandoned Coral, Broken China and Picked Raspberry.
  • Next, I placed the piece into my Misti and inked up the snowflake with some Versafine Clair and pressed onto my inked panel.
  • I splattered the panel using my black Posca pen to add interest.  I just remove the cap and tap with a ruler over the whole piece.
  • I stamped the sentiment from Impression Obsession on a separate piece of  white cardstock and clear heat embossed it.  I mounted that onto a piece of black and pop dotted it over the bottom of the panel
  • I glued the finished panel onto some black and then onto a heavy white card base.


For those who have asked what a Deco Stencil Pat is, here is a picture of what it looks like:


It is a great tool for applying Gesso, Texture paste etc. through a stencil to get a nice smooth application.  One edge is flat, so that's what I used.  
Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Stencil PAL. That is what I was thinking you meant! But was not positive since you were calling it a stencil pat!

I love the look of the lines of colour at an angle crossing one another and making a secondary colour where that is happening. The black silhouette snowflake is a beauty and looks great finished with a simple sentiment. A really interesting design Karen. x
