Parasols

Welcome

This new stencil for August called

Parasols

from A Colorful Life Designs is a fun one for sure.

I used it a bit differently then how it's designed to be used.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and marked the center point.  I placed the Parasols stencil along the center point, covering just half of my card front.  I inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil off and repositioned it to the other side and inked again with the same colour.
• Next, I took another piece of white cardstock and inked just the center circle with some Picked Raspberry and some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.  I used a circle die to cut it out and placed that into my Misti to stamp the sentiment over it.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the circle over the center of my card front and added 3 black gems under the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
