Good Morning
Today's card is a fun one using a new for February stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called
Lots of possibilities with this one.
Good one for layering too and it's big enough for scrapbook pages.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I cut a piece of white cardstock and then measured to find the center point.
- Instead of laying the whole Spinning Sun stencil onto my cardstock, I laid just half of it onto the middle line that I had marked on the panel, then inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio and some Uncharted Mariner.
- I repeated that process until the whole piece of cardstock was inked.
- Using my white Posca pen, I splattered the whole thing and set aside to dry.
- I got out a scrap piece of white cardstock and inked that up with some more of the Cracked Pistachio and some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink and cut the sentiment from that. I splattered that as well. I die cut the sentiment shadow with some white and glued the sentiment into place onto that.
- I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base and used some foam tape to add the sentiment over the middle.
