Ho Ho Ho

Welcome

Meet the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

Layered Ho Ho Ho.

This stencil set is a 4 part layering stencil.

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

• I decided to stencil over some patterned paper so I started to look through my stash until I found this green with the yellow dots on it.  
• I laid the patterned paper onto my Waffle Flower Stencil Mat and placed stencil #1 from the Layered Ho Ho Ho stencil over it.  I inked that up, removed that stencil and continued to add colour using the 3 other layers to create the text on the background.  The colours I used were:  Lumberjack Plaid, Rustic Wilderness, Lucky Clover and some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink. **HELPFUL HINT:  I used my Stencil Mat because it has an edge to perfectly line up the layers.  You could also use your Misti for this so the layers match up.
• Next, I die cut the sentiment in white 3 times and glued them together to give some more stability and build it up a bit.  I also die cut the cute little hats that came with the set with some white and red and glued them together.
• I looked at the stenciled card front and decided to give it more of a 'marquee' look, so I added some white dots over the letters using my white Posca pen. It really gave it a more festive look.
• I glued the card front onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment onto the middle and added the 2 little Santa hats.

Here is the layering stencils I used:
