Big Cheers!

 

Welcome

Meet today's card.

Today, I am combining 2 newly releases stencil from ACLD.

The background one is called Shaped Ball and the hands are part of the Happy Caps stencil.

It's fun to try and incorporate 2 stencils together to make them work on a card.

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

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock and positioned the Shaped Ball stencil over that.  I got out 3 colours of Distress Oxide inks:  Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and some Peacock Feathers.  
• I began inking in the middle of the stencil with the Mustard Seed and blended out from there, finishing with the blue along the outside edges.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I die cut the 'Cheers' from black cardstock 3 times and glued them together.  I find by layering the dies, the sentiment has a lot more presence.
• When the stenciled card front was dry, I placed the Happy Caps stencil over that, positioning it just along the bottom.  This stencil is a graduation stencil, but since I don't have any graduates, I wanted to use just the hands.
• I glued the finished panel onto a 4 1/4" card front, then glued on the Cheers die cut.

Here are the stencils I used:
