Welcome
Today, I am featuring 2 cards I made for my boys using this great stencil from A Colorful Life Design called
Really a good one for creating a card during this difficult time.
This stencil comes with the mask as well and is so easy to use to make some quick cards for friends or family.
Card #1 shows my card using the stencil and card #2 shows what the mask looks like.
So here's what I did to create my card #1.
- I cut my card panel, then positioned the Heart Hug stencil over my panel.
- Using some Distress Oxide inks (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Candied Apple), I blended the ink over the stencil with my blending brushes.
- Leaving the stencil in place, I splattered with my white Posca pen to add some interest.
- When all was dry, I stamped the sentiment from Hampton Arts over the heart with some Versafine Clair Noir and clear heat embossed.
- I mounted the panel onto some orange cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
Card #2
- For card #2, I again began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and the same Distress Inks as above and my blending brushes. This time, I used the mask instead of the stencil to give a different look.
- When I was happy with the inking, I removed the mask and stamped the sentiment from Studio G with some Versafine Clair and clear heat embossed it.
- I mounted this one onto a piece of red cardstock and then onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
