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:

I love the patchwork of shapes in those pretty colours Karen, and the added stencilling looks great, and finished perfectly with the large black sentiment and the added gems. x
