Party Time

Good Morning

I had fun making this birthday card using 2 newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called

Rocks and Four Squares

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and then put the Rocks stencil over that.  
• I began at the top of my cardstock and inked with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide.  I moved on down my cardstock inking with some Villainous Potion and then some Peacock Feathers along the bottom.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Four Squares stencil over it and inked again using the same colours to match the areas in the background.  It added lots of interest and details to the design.
• Using the eraser on the end of a pencil, I added the dots between the stenciled squares.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and then set aside to dry.
• I die cut the sentiment from white paper 3 times and inked one of them with the same colours I had used on the background.  I glued the 2 white ones together and then glued the inked one on the top, offsetting it a bit so it would show up better against the background.
• I took a piece of purple cardstock and die cut the edge of it, then glued that onto an A2 sized card base.  I added the stenciled panel over that.  
• Lastly, I glued the sentiment right over the middle of the panel.

Here are the stencils I used:
