Hello and Welcome
I hope you preparations for the holidays is going well.
There never seems to be enough time though.
Anyways, I found this background I had made on my Gel Plate and thought I would put it to good use.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began by pulling out my Gel Plate, brayer and some Peeled Paint and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink. I pressed the ink pads directly onto the plate and brayered the colours together.
- I laid the Pretty Victorian Stencil onto my plate, then rubbed some paper to remove some of the ink. I removed the stencil and took my print by rubbing the cardstock over that.
- Next, using a piercing tool, I poked some holes along the left edge of the panel to add interest.
- I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from Penny Black.
- I glued that all onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto a piece of green and then finally onto a heavy white card base.
- I die cut the little snowflake from some white cardstock and glued it to the side of the sentiment.
- I added some white pearls near the sentiment and then a green gem in the center of the snowflake.
Here is the stencil I used:
