You Brighten My World

 


Welcome
Today's card features the Warp Speed stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  
When I saw it, I immediately thought of bright lights and this is the simple design I came up with.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I decided to make a notecard size so I cut my white cardstock 3 3/4" square.
  • I laid it onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Warp Speed stencil over it, being sure to center it up.  
  • I began inking in the center with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink, then moved outwards inking it up with some Carved Pumpkin DOX ink next.  I was sure to blend the colours together so it didn't look too orange.
  • I removed the stencil and placed the inked panel into my Misti to stamp the lightbulb in the center of the inked circle.
  • I removed that and stamped the lightbulb again onto a scrap piece of cardstock.  I coloured it using my Copic marker and fussy cut the bulb out.
  • I glued the stenciled piece onto some yellow cardstock and then onto a 4 1/4" square white card base.
  • I pop dotted the bulb I had fussy cut out into position, then covered it with some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to give it a shine.


Here is the stencil I used:
