Good Morning
Hope all is well in your part of the world.
Today's card features such a fun stencil called Square Frames. It is another one of the great newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs for February.
This one is so fun as the squares overlap each other.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Square Frames stencil over that.
- I began at the center of the stencil and inked it up with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink.
- I moved outwards with the inking adding some Carved Pumpkin next and then some Picked Raspberry around the edges.
- I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti and stamped over it with the background lines using more of the Picked Raspberry DOX ink. (This stamp only has a number on it and no name. I can't find it on the Hero Arts site so it may be discontinued?)
- Next, I splattered with my white Posca pen and dotted the circles to add interest.
- While that dried, I stamped the sentiment in my Misti and then die cut it out.
- I glued the dried panel onto an A2 sized card base and pop dotted the sentiment in the center.
Here is the stencil I used:

What beautiful bright colours Karen, and love the look of the overlapping squares design with the dotted lines stamped over the top, and the central stamped and fussy cut sentiment attached to the middle which looks great. x
What an visually intriguing card Karen - love the extra layer of stamping you added to the background - it complements it stunningly. The sentiment is such a fabulous feature for the card
