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:
