Be Happy Birthday


Good Morning
Meet today's card.
Just a happy feeling card with these colours, using the newly released stencil called Faded Lines from A Colorful Life Designs.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I decided to make a square card today, so I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 3/4" square and placed that onto my Make Art Station.
  • I positioned the Faded Lines stencil over that and inked it up with some Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon and some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink. 
  • When the whole panel was inked, I rotated the stencil and inked in the other direction.
  • For the sentiment, I found a piece of previously inked up cardstock in my stash that matched the colours on my stenciled background.  I splattered that with my white Posca pen and then die cut the Happy Wishes sentiment from that.
  • I die cut the shadow portion of the die from a piece of white cardstock and then glued the words onto that.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto a 4 1/4" card base.

Here is the stencil I used:

Your 'happy' colours make this a delightful card Karen - love the white shadow behind the sentiment - it really makes it pop from the busy background
