Take the Journey


Hello and Welcome
Many of the new releases from A Colorful Life Designs this month are graphic designs.
I find these work so well when trying to create masculine looking cards, something many struggle with.
The stencil I am using today is called 

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • As always, I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  I centered the Curtain Call stencil over my cardstock and inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
  • I removed the stencil, cleaned it off and then shifted it so it went in the other direction.  I then inked it up with some Broken China DOX ink.
  • While that dried, I stamped the sentiment and arrow and die cut them out.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment and the arrow up in the center of the card.

Here is the stencil I used:
