Good Morning
Meet today's card featuring this exciting new Layered Squares Mandela stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.
It sure is a fun one to play with and comes with 3 layering stencils to use together or by themselves...so many possibilities. I decided to use just 2 of the stencils together for my card.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Layered Squares Mandela stencil Part #1 over my cardstock and inked that up with some Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink.
- I removed that stencil and replaced it with Stencil #2 of that set but this time, I used a baby wipe and some Villainous Potion DOX ink to apply the colour. Just rub some ink onto a piece of acetate and pick up the colour with the wipe. It gives such a different effect and look to the inking.
- Next, I removed the stencil and to add more interest, I splattered with my white Posca pen.
- I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment into the corner and clear heat embossed it.
- I glued the piece onto some pale purple cardstock, then onto and A2 card base.
Here is the stencil I used:

ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting look Karen and I love the purple tones and a lovely sentiment too. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful background Karen - love the two colours together and the look of the 'wiped' background. That sentiment is amazing
