Smile Today


Welcome
This month's new releases at A Colorful Life Designs are so fun.
For today's card, I used the new Viewmaster and the new Marvelous Masks Postage Stamp.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed one of the Marvelous Postage masks over the center of my card front so when I was finished, I would have a nice white border.
  • I laid the Viewmaster stencil over that and inked the middle area with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink and then some Ripe Persimmon DOX ink around the edges.  
  • I shifted the stencil and then inked again using some Picked Raspberry DOX ink.
  • I lifted off just the Viewmaster stencil, leaving the mask in place and splattered with my black Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I removed the mask and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the flowers and the sentiment.
  • To add more interest and a framed effect, I used my Scorboard to add a scored line all around the outer edge of the inking to add extra interest.
  • I glued the panel onto a piece of orange cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.

Here is the stencil and masks I used:

those masks look amazing, Karen, and I love how you have used it on this vibrant card. Fun stencilling also, with having moved the stencil between layers

This is fabulous Karen! I love the vibrant, view master mask effects and the white border is so effective at highlighting your black flowers and splatters. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
