The Best of Wishes


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

  7. What a great use of those two stencils - your colours remind me of some sweets we used to have in the UK when I was younger called Fruit Salad. Great card - thanks for sharing with us at The Male Room Challenge
