Good Morning
Meet today's card.
It started as a white cardstock circle I cut out for something? and found in my stash.
From there, an idea and a card was born.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- Like I mentioned above, I found this white die cut circle in my stash and then when I searched a bit, I found the negative I had cut it from.
- So, my original plan was to use this wonderful Paint Strokes stencil from ACLD, to stencil the circle for my card. I laid the circle into the cut away square just to hold it there, but it became part of the card design as I loved the look.
- I randomly placed the Paint Strokes stencil around the outside of the circle and inked it up with a rainbow of colours using a blending brush and my Distress Oxide inks. The colours I used were: Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Prize Ribbon, Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet.
- While that dried, I die cut the sentiment 3 times from some black cardstock and glued them together.
- I cut a white card base 4 1/4" square and used some foam tape to pop the negative die cut square onto the base. I matched up the circle to the inside and glued it down right onto the base.
- I glued the die cut sentiment over the cut away circle area.
Here is the stencil I used:

Wow Karen what a wonderful design, I love the bold colours and that large sentiment die, it really pops out, Kate x
This looks great Karen and I agree that the circle placed beneath the square and continuing the pattern on to the negative square piece works brilliantly, and the layered sentiment in black really stands out. x
So colourful, gives a real feel of Summer with all those vivid colours, many thanks for joining us at Allsorts challenge this week.
