Big and Bold Thank You

Welcome

I had fun creating today's card using 2 of the new for August stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called;

Alternating Squares and Parasols

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

• I cut a square piece of white cardstock that was 3 3/4" and placed it onto my Make Art Station.
• I put the Alternating Squares stencil over that and inked it up with some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink.  I like the dark, rich tones of that colour.
• I placed another piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and this time, I put the Parasols stencil over that.  I inked just the inside round of that one with some more Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.  To add a bit of dimension, I added some Villainous Potion just in the center area.
• I used a circle die to cut the round and then I fussy cut around all the spokes to give it more of the look of a flower.  I glued that onto a slightly larger white circle.
• I stamped and die cut the sentiment with the same red.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a 4 1/4" white square card base and used some foam tape to add the circle detail.  
• Lastly, I used some more foam tape to pop the sentiment up over the center.

Here are the stencils I used:
