Tropical Hello


Good Morning
This card was a fun one to create using the new from A Colorful Life Designs stencil called

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began with a piece of white cardstock that I inked up with some Cracked Pistachio and some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink.
  • Next, I placed the Swirling Droplets stencil over the inked cardstock and rubbed on some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink until the whole card front was inked.
  • I placed the cardstock into the Monstera Leaves EB folder and ran it through my machine.  By stenciling the background and then embossing, it added great detail to the leaves.
  • I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • While that dried, I die cut the 'HELLO' letters out and glued it onto the shadow die cut background.
  • I glued the dried panel onto a piece of pale green cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card front.
  • I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment up over the card front panel and added some black gems around it.

Here is the stencil I used:
