Wish Upon a Star


Welcome
Today's card was a fun one to create.
It may look like strips of paper I cut, but actually it's all done using 2 stencils.
 I pulled out the Dream Stars and paired it up with the Layered Bands.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.
  • I laid the Layered Bands stencil over my paper.  This stencil comes with the masking pieces which was very helpful when inking up the different colours.
  • I used Distress Oxides to ink, masked and inked again.  The colours I used from the top to the bottom:  Wilted Violet, Cracked Pistachio, Prize Ribbon, Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Mustard Seed.
  • I cleaned the stencil off and repositioned it over my card panel.
  • I laid the Dream Stars stencil over that and inked with some Blueprint Sketch over the bands of colour.
  • I removed both stencils and die cut the Happy Birthday sentiment shadow from the center of the inked panel and the sentiment from some white cardstock and glued them together.
  • I splattered the panel with my Posca pen for interest.
  • I glued the finished panel onto an A2 card base and popped the sentiment back into place.


Here are the stencils I used:

The bands of stencillled colour look so pretty Karen and the added stars stencilled over that work brilliantly..love that bit of spattering too, and the die cut inset sentiment in white stands out beautifully x
