Welcome
Meet today's card.
Just some simple masking using this fun new stencil from ACLD called Mid Century Geometric.
I always enjoy the look of circles on a card so this one really fit the bill.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I cut a piece of white cardstock that was 3 3/4" x 5". I laid that onto my Waffle Flower Stencil Mat and positioned the Mid Century Geometric stencil over my cardstock.
- I wanted to make areas of specific colour instead of blending them together so I masked off the circles as I went along using some low tack tape. It was a simple process. These are the Distress Oxide colours I used: Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin.
- When I was happy with the inking, I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
- When the panel was dry, I die cut a circle from the center.
- I stamped and clear heat embossed the sentiment onto the circle.
- I glued the main stenciled panel onto a piece of pink cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
- I added some foam tape to the back of the circle, and popped it back into place.
- I added 3 black gems under the sentiment.
Here is the stencil I used:

More bright and pretty colours for this geometric stencilled background but no purple this time and more yellow and it really sings out. I love the circle cut from the same piece and the black inked sentiment and gems to finish..I think the words are perfect. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of the stencil Karen, and I love the sentiment on the raised circle - the dimension adds so much to this wonderful, cheerful card

You have used one of my favorite quotes, and it's by Picasso. This card is simply wonderful, and I love the bright colors and modern design. Lots of fabulous work here, thanks so much for playing along with us for the last time over at the Mod Squad. I am very sad that we are retiring, it has been a great ride.
