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:
