Welcome
Meet the fun new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called
I has 2 different trees to stencil with so many possibilities.
I decided to use both the trees from the set to create a geometric design.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I placed the tree at the top of the Geometric Christmas Duo stencil onto a piece of white cardstock sideways (it's the largest inked area in the middle under the sentiment) and inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio and some Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink.
- I lifted the stencil, moved it to the top and inked the same tree again with the green inks.
- I lifted the stencil off, cleaned it and then repositioned the tree at the bottom of the stencil along the top edge of my card front and inked again creating a plaid pattern. I repeated the process for the bottom edge next.
- To add more interest to the design, I used a fine line black marker and a ruler to add the lines.
- I splattered the whole panel with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
- I die cut the sentiment from some green foil paper and added that over a with die cut shadow.
- I glued the stenciled card front panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then green, then onto an A2 sized card base.
- I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the panel and then added 2 silver die cut snowflakes and some silver gems.
Here is the stencil I used:
