Cruising On By

Good Morning

Today's card came to be after I found this stenciled panel using the Primitive Batik stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  It reminded me of waves in the water.

Just a fun, simple card.

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

• I found this stenciled panel in my stash using the Primitive Batik stencil.  I am guessing at the colours I used...I forgot to write them on the back.  I think from top to bottom I started with Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Blueprint Sketch, then some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink along the bottom.
• I looked at the stenciled and panel and wondered how I could make it more interesting and use it as a scene.  I decided to cut it apart along one of the stenciled lines. 
• Next, I glued the top part that I had cut, flat onto a white cardstock panel.
• I added foam tape to the bottom section and put it in place on the panel.  Just by raising it up, improved the look I was going for. 
• I stamped the boat with some black Versafine Clair and fussy cut it out.  I stamped the sentiment in the word bubble and cut that out as well.  
• I pop dotted the word bubble and the boat over the stenciled panel.
• Finally, I glued it onto a heavy white card base to finish off my A2 size card. 

Here is the stencil I used:
