Relax


Good Morning
This simple card speaks to summer....time to relax and enjoy this beautiful weather.
I used a stencil for the background, doing a stencil shift technique.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I got out the Emblem Mask from A Colorful Life Designs and placed it onto a piece of white cardstock on my Make Art Station.
  • I inked it up with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.  
  • I shifted the stencil and inked again with some Peacock Feather DOX ink, filling in the white areas left behind after the first inking.  Fun way to get a different look from using this stencil.
  • Next, I placed the stenciled piece into my Misti and stamped the thistles and the sentiment.
  • I splattered with my black Posca pen just over the thistles.
  • I glued it onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
