Celebration Time


Welcome
It's the weekend and time to play!!
I was looking through my stencils mindlessly, trying to think about what I wanted to create.  
I like to have birthday cards on hand, so decided to go with that plan.  
I love this fun stencil, just add a few bright colours and you can make a great card.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began by pulling out my Stencil Mat and cut a piece of white cardstock.  
  • I got out this fun stencil called Round Fragments from A Colorful Life Designs...one of my favs.  I decided to stencil these fun flower shapes in a totally random way, so I masked off around the largest shape and added that into the bottom corner of my white cardstock panel using some Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry and a hint of Rusty Hinge right in the very center.  
  • I continued to move the stencil around over my card front, masking and placing some of the flower shapes into the corners and then more into the center area.  I inked the dots from that same  stencil to fill in the open areas.
  • I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I stamped the 'Happy' and die cut it out, then stamped the 'Birthday' onto another piece of white cardstock and cut that out.  
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of matching pink cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
  • I glued the Happy onto the card front, then pop dot mounted the Birthday under that.
  • To finish my card off, I added 3 pink gems just around the sentiment.


Here is the stencil I used:
