Welcome
Here he is....he's back for the holidays.
Meet the wonderful newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:
This stencil is just one for this Grinchy release, so if you love the Grinch, he's perfect for creating some fun cards for the holidays.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a piece of white cardstock to use for the Grinch's face. I embossed it with a Burlap EB folder and then placed the Extra Grinchy stencil over the embossing and inked it up with some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink.
- I die cut the face with a circle die and then inked it with some Cracked Pistachio and some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.
- Using a yellow ink marker, I added the yellow to the Grinch's eyes and set aside to dry.
- Next, I inked up the sentiment on a piece of red cardstock with some Versamark ink and white heat embossed it.
- I cut out the sentiment and splattered it with my white Posca pen but dragged my finger over the splatters to spread them and add to the 'grinchy' look.
- I die cut the card front panel with some red cardstock. I glued that onto a piece of green cardstock and glued a few of the die cut pieces back into place. I glued that onto an A2 sized white card base.
- I used some foam tape to pop the face and the sentiment over the die cut panel.
Here is the stencil I used:

This is a great image of the Grinch and love the texture from the burlap EF, and the green die cut with the bright red behind showing through bits of it, and finished with the white embossed sentiment also on the red...a really fun card. x
