Welcome
I can't believe it's August 1st!! The summer is just flying by.
So, a new month means a whole new lineup of stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.
Meet one of the new ones called:
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I wanted to give the background more of a simple but unique look so I got out some of my Distress Reinkers and squeezed them out onto a piece of acetate. The colours I used were: Blueprint Sketch, Festive Berries and Peacock Feathers.
- Using a baby wipe, I dipped it into one colour at a time and pressed it over the Jigsaw stencil to transfer the colour. I repeated that process until the whole background was inked. It gave such an interesting, mottled look to the inking.
- When the panel was dry, I die cut the sentiment shadow from the middle and then die cut the letters from some navy blue cardstock. I glued the letters onto the shadow cut from the panel.
- I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of dark red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
- I used some foam tape to stick the sentiment back into place over the background.
- The last step was to add some navy gems around the sentiment.
Here is the stencil I used:

What an interesting way to colour through the stencil Karen and the colours go together beautifully, and finished perfectly with the large blue die cut 'Hello'. x
A great technique, Karen, and a beautiful result. x
