Good Morning
Meet today's card featuring the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called
I have to say, it certainly does look like an explosion!
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I began by using the Postal Collage die to cut out a piece of white cardstock, then placed it onto my Make Art Station.
- I put the Flake Explosion stencil over that and beginning at the top left hand corner and moving my way down the stencil, I inked with the following Distress Oxide inks; Villainous Potion, Shaded Lilac and Dusty Concord in the bottom right corner.
- I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
- I stamped the sentiment with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink and die cut it out.
- I glued the stenciled card front onto a piece of light blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
- I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment into the corner.
- I added this snowflake ephemera with some foam tape in the top corner.
- Finally, I added some silver gems to the snowflake centers.
Here is the stencil I used:
