Close Your Eyes and Make a Wish

Welcome

Today's card features the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Mid Century Arcs

This is a small stencil that I decided to use to make a mirror image on my card.

I am also hosting this weeks TLC Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers using this technique if you want to come and play along.

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

• After I cut a piece of white cardstock, I marked the center point, then I placed it onto my Make Art Station and put the Mid Century Arcs stencil over that at the center point.
• I inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio and some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink.
• I cleaned off the stencil, turned it over and put it onto the opposite side and inked again with the same colours to create a 'mirror image'.
• Next, I die cut the sentiment with some navy cardstock and also a thin strip that covers the center line.  
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white, then navy cardstock, and finally onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the navy strip over the middle area and added the sentiment.
• I added 3 silver gems for interest around the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
