Sending Some Happy

 

Good Morning

Just sending you some happy today as I play with this sweet stencil by Vicki Boutin.

I used some of my favourite colour combinations.

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

• I cut a panel from white card stock and positioned the Fresh stencil over that.  I wanted to have a large open area for a sentiment, so I took a piece of scrap paper and tore it to use as a mask over the stencil.
• I began inking up the stencil using some Peacock Feathers DOX ink over just the flowers.  I added some Blueprint Sketch ink just over the flower centers to help make them pop.  I used some Cracked Pistachio to ink up the leaves next.  
• Leaving the stencil and mask in place, I splattered using my white Posca pen and set it aside to dry.
• I die-cut the sentiment from Lawn Fawn and altered it by cutting it down.  (the die actually says Sending Big Hugs but it covered too much of my card front so I cut it down)  I inked up the die-cut using some of the same blue inks in an ombre fashion.
• The panel was dry by then, so I removed the stencil and mask and placed it into my Misti to stamp the small sentiment under the masked area.
• I glued the die-cut into the masked area and added a matching blue gem to dot the 'i'. 
• I glued it all onto a white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
