Mix It Up Birthday

Welcome

Meet today's card featuring this fun Cow Hide stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

I wanted to try and give it a different look.

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

• Like I mentioned above, I wanted to give the Cow Hide stencil a more unique look, plus I didn't have a cow stamp.  I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.
• Next, I positioned the Marvelous Masks Rectangle also from A Colorful Life Designs into the corner.  I wanted to use it for simplicity instead of having to mask.  
• I laid the stencil over the mask and inked it up with some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
• I moved the rectangle mask (I did end up having to do a bit of masking using low tack tape) and repeated the process, again inking with some Mustard Seed and then some Carved Pumpkin.
• When the card front panel was all inked, I added some details by stamping over the areas with the  same colour as I had used to ink it up.
• I stamped the sentiment with some black ink and clear heat embossed it.
• I carefully splattered with my black Posca pen just around the sentiment.
• I glued it onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• To finish off my card, I added 3 black gems.

Here is the stencil and mask I used:
