Birthday Greetings

 

Welcome

Today, I am playing with this fun Spinning Lines stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

I decided to add some paper piercing to give it more interest, something I haven't done in a long time.

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

• I laid a piece of cardstock onto my Mark Art Station and placed the Spinning Lines stencil over that, positioning it just to one side of my card front panel.
• I inked it up with some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stencil, wiped it off and repositioned it, shifting it to the white areas left behind after the first inking.  When I had the stencil in place, I inked it up with some Carved Pumpkin DOX ink.
• I splattered with some water to lift some in and then used my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I die cut the sentiment with some white cardstock, then a piece of matching pink and glued them together, offsetting a bit.
• Using a small circle die, I cut out the center of the stencil, then I pierced around the outer edge of the circle to give it more interest.
• I added a piece of white cardstock behind the panel and pierced the inside of the small circle as well.
• I popped the finished panel onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• I glued the greeting on and added some orange gems around it.

Here is the stencil I used:
