In My Thoughts

 

Welcome

Meet today's card.

Playing with a new stencil called Lace Panel from A Colorful Life Designs...so pretty.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock for my main panel.  I got out my Gel Plate and pressed on some Cracked Pistachio and some Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide inks directly onto my plate just leaving a bit of space between them as not to contaminate the pads with the other colour.  I brayered the colours together to blend them.
• Next, I laid the Lace Panel stencil onto the plate making sure that the stencil had good contact with the plate.  I then lifted off the stencil and rubbed a piece of white cardstock over the plate to lift the print.  I was left with this lovely background.
• Next, I rubbed the print with my anti-static bag and then placed it into my Misti.
• Using the dragonfly from the Dragonfly Reflections set, I stamped it using some Versafine Clair ink.
• I stamped the sentiment in the corner then to add interest to the Dragonfly wings, I covered them with some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to add shine and dimension.
• I splattered with my Posca black pen and then glued it onto a heavy white card base.

Here is the stencil I used:
