Rock Star


Welcome
Meet today's card.
A very simple, one layer card I created using a stencil, my Distress Oxide inks and a couple of stamps.
I decided to create a one layer card as I haven't done one for so long....I'm also playing along with the DTGD Challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut my card base- A2 from some heavy white cardstock so my finished card was 5 1/2 x 4 1/4".  
  • I wanted a nice white border around my image, so I placed the Marvelous Masks Deckle Rectangle over my paper, centering it.  I love using these masks, so simple to use and no more torn paper on the edges.  Over that I laid the Corner Rays stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and secured them on my Make Art Station with magnets.   
  • Using my blender brushes, I blended on some Distress Oxide inks. (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin)  When I was happy with the inking, I removed both masks and set them aside.
  • I placed the card into my Misti and stamped the Rock Silhouette to one side, the the Something Incredible sentiment on the other side.
  • That's it, done in no time at all



Here are the stencils I used to create my card:

I have never seen these masks and just looked them up-what a fab idea and you have used them perfectly. Love the subtle sunray and perfect blending and it is just the right background for the strong image-he really is the star of the show! Cool sentiment too, so good for these times. Thanks Karen for joining us at CASology x

I'm now wondering if I'll be seeing this technique over at one of the CAS challenges, Karen! It's fabulous to think you've eliminated taping, and yes, those torn/damaged edges!
A Rockstar of a card!
