You're on my Mind


Hello and Welcome
Today's card features a new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Graphic Lace.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed the Graphic Lace stencil over a piece of white cardstock on my Make Art Station.
  • I inked along the top part with some Peacock Feathers, moved down,, then added some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink after that. I kept moving my way down the panel inking with just those 2 colours over the stencil until the whole piece of cardstock was inked.
  • Next, I took the piece and embossed it with the Angled Mosaic eb folder from Altenew.  It was really amazing how much it changed the look.
  • To help add more interest, I gently rubbed the Cracked Pistachio ink pad over the raised areas to help reveal even more of the pattern.
  • I stamped the sentiment and then die cut it out. 
  • I glued the panel onto a piece of green cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I used some foam tape to pop up the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
