Candy Stripes

Welcome

Meet today's card.

A simple one using the newly released Candy Stripes stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  
• I positioned the Candy Stripes stencil over my cardstock and inked it up with some Barn Door Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil off and repositioned it going in the other direction so the stripes would intersect each other.  I inked that with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and splattered with my white Posca pen.
• When it was all dry, I die cut the circle directly from one side of the stenciled background.  I cut a white circle from another piece of cardstock and glued the 2 together.
• I placed the die cut circle into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and I clear heat embossed it to help it pop.
• I glued the stiped panel onto a piece of red cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the circle back into place, matching up the stripes.
• Lastly, I added 3 black gems just under the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
