Stenciled Die Cuts


Good Morning
Today's card is a simple one as I wanted to play with a new die that I just got along with the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

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 laid the Not Quite Stripes stencil over that and inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
  • I lifted the stencil off, cleaned it and turned it around and put it back over my first stenciling.  I inked again with some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.
  • I took the stenciled panel and used the Eclectic Tree Outlines die to cut it out.  Be sure and keep all the little pieces when you die cut.  It helps to put some low tack tape across the back of your cardstock before die cutting it out to help hold all the little pieces in place.
  • I glued the panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then glued the little die cut pieces back into place over the panel.
  • I glued the panel onto a piece of green cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I use some foam tape to add the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:

What a great idea to turn the stencil around, Karen. It made a colorful design for those graphic trees. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
