Groovy Hello

Hello there!

Meet today's card.

A fun one using another one of the newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Twisty Grid

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:
