Hello there!
Meet today's card.
A fun one using another one of the newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:
The technique I used for my card is referred to as 'Joseph's Coat'.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I wanted a bold and bright look for this card so I took a piece of white cardstock and inked it with my Distress Oxide inks in these colours: Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and some Ripe Persimmon.
- I set that aside to dry and before going on with the next step, I used an anti-static powder all over the card front. (This step is very important or you will not be able to achieve the results.)
- I placed the Twisty Grid stencil over my inked background and went over it with some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and then clear heat embossed it.
- I die cut the "HELLO THERE" 3 times with some black cardstock and glued them together. I die cut it again with some white and glued them together, offsetting the white a bit to help the sentiment show up better against the dark background.
- I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto a piece of blue and then finally, onto an A2 sized card base.
- The last step was to glue the sentiment to the middle of the card front.
Here is the stencil I used:

These colours really pop, and using your black ink through the stencil to give the grid pattern works brilliantly Karen, and the black die cut sentiment with the white offset a little underneath makes it stand out well against the background..a super card. x
WOW! Karen, vibrant and the black is fabulous through it. x
