Merriest Wishes

Good Morning

Today's card features some stencil layering and stamping.

I used the 16 Circle Shadow and the Mixed Bars stencils 

from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock on my Make Art Station and placed the 16 Circle Shadow stencil over that.  I inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio and I shaded with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving the circle stencil in place, I put the Mixed Bars stencil over the top of that and inked with some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.
• I removed the stencils but repositioned the circles into the open areas and inked with some more Cracked Pistachio DOX ink.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti to stamp the pine boughs and the grid patterns into the corners.
• I splattered the whole panel with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I die cut the sentiment from some green cardstock 2 times and then once from some beige cardstock and glued them all together.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto another piece of beige cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• I glued the sentiment onto the front panel and added 3 silver gems.

Here are the stencils I used:
