Get Cozy


Welcome
I love how today's card turned out.  
It reminds me of a warm, cozy sweater.
I'm using the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and put the Scrawled Pen stencil over that.  
  • I inked up the middle area with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink and the bottom and top edges with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
  • I turned the stencil around and inked again as mentioned above.
  • It's hard to see in the photo, but next I used the Pierced Christmas Background to add texture and interest to the panel.
  • I splattered with my white Posca pen and let dry completely.
  • I die cut the sentiment from the center of the card panel, then die cut the sentiment shadow with some white cardstock and glued them together.
  • I glued the card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of navy and finally, onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the background.

Here is the stencil I used:
