Happy Wishes


Hello and Welcome
Meet the Chunky Circles stencil, another new one this month from A Colorful Life Designs.
I gave my card added interest by embossing it after I was done with the inking.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began by going to my stash, where I found this 'roll off' sheet that I had rolled my brayer onto while Gel Plate printing using Distress Oxide inks.  The top was blue and the bottom had some purple on it.
  • I placed that onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Chunky Circles stencil over that. 
  • I inked up the top portion with more blue ink; Uncharted Mariner DOX ink and the bottom part that was purple, with some Villainous Potion DOX ink.
  • I removed the stencil and splattered using my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • When it was dry, I placed it into the Angled Mosaic embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.
  • Next, to help the raised embossing show up a bit more, I lightly sanded it off.
  • I die cut the sentiment with some white cardstock, then I die cut the word shadow right from the center of the panel and glued the two together.
  • I glued the finished panel onto a piece of light blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card front.
  • I pop dotted the sentiment back into place in the center of my card.

Here is the stencil I used:

A stunning result Karen - love the drama of the contrast between the organic circles and the angular sanded embossing!

Love this combination of colours, your cards always stand out Karen. I'm loving you embossed over the stencil too.

More fun circles and love the added colour over the piece used to roll off your brayer on, and the added embossing sanded back to give a more white finish shows up beautifully, and love the white die cut sentiment over the shadow cut from the background piece which looks great Karen, and so pretty with the blue matted layer and on the white card. x
