Mid Century Tower

Welcome

Here's a simple card for you today featuring the new for July stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Mid Century Tower

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

• I began by masking the center part of my white cardstock on either side with some scrap paper, then placed the Mid Century Tower stencil over that and inked with some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.  (I masked off so I could have 3 distinctive bands of colour.)
• I lifted the paper masks off and moved them to cover the middle and then placed the stencil back down, matching it up into place.  I inked with some Ripe Persimmon DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and splattered with my white Posca pen.
• I found some inky castoffs in my scraps that had the same colours as the background and I used them to die cut the flowers.
• I stamped the sentiment with more of the Ripe Persimmon DOX ink and then die cut it out.
• I wanted the flowers too show up against the stenciled background, so I cut a piece of clear vellum and glued that over the left corner of my card front and then glued the flowers over that.
• I glued the stenciled card front panel onto a piece of pink cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• Finally, I used some foam tape to add the sentiment into the corner.

Here is the stencil I used:
