You Brighten My World

Welcome
Today, I'm sending this all out to you.  I so appreciate your visits and kind comments!
I often feel badly that I don't have more time to come and visit all of you but with 5 little daycare kiddos and working 10 hr days, my time is so limited.

Anyways, I want you to meet the new for July stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called;

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station, put the Off Road stencil over that and inked it up with some Peacock Feather and some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
  • I splattered the stenciling with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I put another piece of white cardstock down and placed an older stencil called Corner Rays over one side of my cardstock and then inked it up with some Fossilized Amber, Ripe Persimmon and some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink.
  • I moved the stencil over onto the other side, matching up the pattern and inked again with the same colours.
  • I placed that into my Misti to stamp the sentiment, then I glued that onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • The first stenciled piece was now dry, so I cut it along one of the curved edges and used some foam tape to pop it over the sunrise.

Here are the stencils I used:

These two stencils used together create a beautiful scene Karen, and matching up the Corner Rays makes an all over design which goes brilliantly with the Off Road stencilling and I love the colours. x
