Hello

 

Happy Hello to you!

Meet today's card.

A pretty simple one done with a piece of Yupo paper that I had previously inked up and stuck in my stash....you know, the one that didn't quite work for what you were doing.  

I decided to transform it.

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

• I began with a piece of Yupo paper and dropped some red and blue Ranger Alcohol inks (sorry I don't know what colours I used as I did this a long time and it's been sitting in my stash) onto the paper.  I used some Blending Solution to help move the colours around. 
• I pulled out this stencil from The Crafter's Workshop called Mini Joyful Sunflower and placed it over the inked background.
• Using a paper towel and some Ranger Alcohol Lifting ink, I pressed over the stencil, removing the ink from the background over the stencil.
• I lifted the stencil off to reveal the image.  I used a bit of Rubbing Alcohol to clean off my stencil, then washed it off with soap and water to remove any residue.
• After it dried, I glued it onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto some red and then onto a white card base.
• I wanted to keep the sentiment very simple and not cover up the flower.  I remembered I had my Dad's old Dymo Letter Printer so I got that out.  I can't believe it still works 50 yrs later!!!!  I printed out the 'Hello' and glued it to the front of my card.

Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.

I'm so, so sorry that I am way behind at visiting your blogs.  I am feeling swamped with my 5 little daycare ones at the moment and finding it hard to spend much time on social media.  

I will get there though so thanks for hanging in there with me.
