Happy New Year!



Happy New Year!!
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Holiday Season and that you were able to find much peace and happiness.



Meet today's card.  
Time to show you one of the new stencils for the New Year from A Colorful Life Designs called 
I love doing stencil layering to create unique and interesting designs so I paired it up with the Jewel Snowflake to see what I could come up with.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I got out a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  I positioned the Fancy Doily stencil over the cardstock and inked it up with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
  • Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Jewel Snowflake right over it and then inked it again but this time with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
  • I removed both stencils and was left with this lovely design.
  • Next, I splattered with my white Posca pen and let dry.
  • When it was dry, I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti, stamped the sentiment and then clear heat embossed it.
  • I glued the panel onto some white cardstock, then onto a piece of navy and then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • Finally, I added 3 silver gems around the sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:
