Offbeat Circles

Welcome

Meet today's card.

This new February released stencil called Offbeat Circles from A Colorful Life Designs is a fun one.

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

• I laid a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Offbeat Circles over that.  
• To give my card a bit of a different stenciled look, I applied the inks using a baby wipe over the stencil.  The colours I used from left to right were:  Lumberjack Plaid, Carved Pumpkin and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink.
• To help get a bit more definition to the look of the stenciling, I went back over with a blending brush and bit more of the inks mentioned above.
• Leaving the stencil in place, I stamped over with some text to help add interest.
• I removed the stencil and stamped the grid pattern over that.
• I die cut a circle from the center of the finished panel and stamped the sentiment from Avery Elle onto that.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of heavy white cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.

Here is the stencil I used:
