Celebrating With You


Welcome
I am loving this new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 
I turned the stencil on the diagonal to create a fun new pattern.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station, then put the Four Squares stencil over my card panel on the diagonal.
  • I inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon and some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
  • I lifted the stencil off, cleaned it and then flipped it over and inked again using the same colours.
  • I placed the stenciled card panel into my Misti and stamped the flower stem along the side.
  • I rubbed some of the same colours mentioned above, onto a scrap piece of white cardstock and sprayed with water to blend the colours together.  I then stamped the flower head onto that inked scrap and fussy cut it out.
  • I stamped the sentiment over to the side and used some foam tape to pop the flower head into place over the stem.
  • I used my black Posca pen to splatter just over the flower area.
  • I glued the finished card front onto a piece of white, then pink cardstock and finally onto an A2 sized card base.

Here is the stencil I used:

I love this stencil and flipping it has given a whole new look Karen, and the added VI flower and IO sentiment finish it beautifully, not forgetting the added black spattering to complement the stamping. x
