Well, a new month means a whole new lineup of great stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.
There are so many great ones this month too, including lots of the 'Grinch' so stay tuned for that!!
So meet the stencil I used today called:
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I began by creating the background first. I got out my Gel Plate and pressed my Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink pad directly onto my plate. After I brayered it smooth, I pressed the Simple Christmas Trees stencil onto the plate and rubbed my cardstock over it to get the impression.
- After I let the background dry, I placed it into my Misti and stamped the large snowflake over the middle of the panel with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
- I splattered the whole panel with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
- Next, I die cut the shadow from the Snowy Greetings die right from the middle of my card front panel and glued the sentiment die that I cut with white cardstock onto it.
- I glue the finished panel onto a piece of navy cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
- I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place, matching up the pattern.
- Finally, I added some silver gems around the sentiment to add some sparkle.
Here is the stencil I used:
