Big Hug

Welcome

Today, I am featuring 2 cards I made for my boys using this great stencil from A Colorful Life Design called 

Heart Hug.  

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.
