Nautilus

Hello and Welcome

When I saw this new Nautilus stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, I couldn't wait to play with it.

I thought about how I wanted to add colour to it and decided to try something a bit different.

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

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock that was 3 3/4" square.
• I positioned the Nautilus stencil over my cardstock on my Make Art Station and got out some Brushos that I haven't played with in forever. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Brushos, they are highly pigmented powders that are activated by adding water.
• I sprinkled some blue and green Brushos onto a scrap piece of acetate (for easy clean up), sprayed with water to activate and then I used a baby wipe to press the ink onto the paper over the stencil.  The powders gave such a beautiful blend of colours.
• I dried the panel, then placed it into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.
• To add more interest, I splattered with my black Posca pen, then glued the finished panel onto some black cardstock and finally onto a white card base.
• I added 3 silver gems around the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
