Frame It

 

Good Morning

Hope you had a good weekend.

It goes by so fast!

So meet today's card.

I wanted to try and use a stenciled background in a different way.  I also wanted to play with this newly released stencil called Scribble Sphere from ACLD.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and place it onto my Waffle Flower stencil mat.
• Next, I pulled out some Distress Oxide colours that I thought would work well together.  They were:  Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and some Wilted Violet.  I inked over the Scribble Sphere stencil, blending those colours together.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• While that dried, I started looking through my stamp stash to find a good sentiment to use for the center.  I came across this older one from Penny Black and decided to use it.  I simply stamped it onto a piece of white cardstock and glued it onto a piece of pink cardstock that matched the stenciled piece.
• I cut a piece of white cardstock that was 4 inches square.  
• I cut the stenciled panel into 4 pieces and mitered the corners to create a frame, taking into consideration the size of my sentiment.  By mitering the corners, it broke up the pattern and added more interest rather then just cutting away the center.
• I used some foam tape to add the mitered strips that would become my frame, then glued the sentiment into the center.
• I glued that onto a card base that was 4 1/4 inches square and finally added 3 orange gems.  It 

Here is the stencil I used:
