The Best of Wishes

Good morning.

Today's clean and simple card combines 2 new for August stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called  

 Dots In and Out and Square Line Up.

I just love playing with stencil layering.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  I placed the Dots In and Out stencil over that and inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I laid the Square Line Up stencil over that and inked again with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.  It really added such extra interest to the graphic design.
• I removed both stencils and placed the panel onto my Misti to stamp the sentiment.  I clear embossed it to help make it pop against the background.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Finally, I added 3 black gems around the sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:
