Multicoloured Celebrate

Hello and Welcome

Here is a fun card I made after watching one of Vicki Boutin's Friday Night Lives.

A whole lot of fun packed into one card that's for sure.

I will do my best to explain how I created this as it started with these 4 background pieces I made.

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

• I began by die-cutting a circle from my cardstock to use as a mask.  For the inking on each one, I rubbed some of Vicki Boutin's Art Crayons onto a sheet of acetate, sprayed with water and pressed over the circle mask.  **Vicki's crayons come in 3 different packs; I just used the Warm and Cool packs of her crayons**  I added more colour using Distress Crayons with a blending tool in similar colours to the crayons.  I added stenciling, stamping and some lifting with water on each circle.
• In Vicki's live, after she had inked up her pieces, she cut out the circles and then cut them into pie shaped pieces.  So after I decided I wanted to use the blue one pictured above as my base, I glued the cut up pie shaped pieces over that leaving some of the blue showing through.  
• When I was happy with the way they all were placed over the blue circle, I glued them into place then added some 'faux' stitched lines to the pieces.
• After I let the pieces dry, I die-cut out the circle around the outer edge and then cut it again with a smaller circle die creating 2 pieces.  
• Using some white cardstock, I die-cut 2 circles, each a bit bigger then my inked circles.  I glued them all together and set aside.
• Next, I cut out the main panel of my card with white cardstock and using my ScorPal, I scored some straight lines and some perforated ones with my ScorBug.
• I glued the biggest circle onto the card front panel, then pop dotted the smaller one back into place matching the bigger one.
• I die-cut the Celebrate and inked it up with some Distress Oxide inks.
• I glued it onto a 4 1//4 x 4 1/4 card base.

 Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
