Birthday Fun


Good Morning
Meet another one of the new releases for July, a mid-month release from A Colorful Life Designs called

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock, then placed the Over the Belt stencil onto that and inked with some Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink.
  • I removed the stencil, wiped it clean and then placed it back down but facing in the other direction.  I inked again with some Salty Ocean DOX ink.
  • While that dried, I die cut the large birthday sentiment with some white and purple cardstock and glued them together.  I did offset them a bit to help make the sentiment stand out more against the background.
  • I glue my stenciled card front onto another piece of purple cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I glued the sentiment over the middle of my card front and finally, added 3 silver gems.

Here is the stencil I used:

Very pretty tones of blue and purple for the stencilling Karen, and love the more red toned purple for the die cut sentiment and matted layer, and a great idea to offset the purple with the white as a shadow. x
