Let's Celebrate

Welcome

Today's card features a stencil from A Colorful Life Designs that I showed a few weeks ago called 

Pop the Cork

I decided to try and use it in a totally unique and different way.

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

• I took the Pop the Cork stencil and placed it over a piece of heavy white cardstock on the diagonal, eliminating the bottle portion of the stencil and inked it up with these Distress Oxide colours:  Fossilized Amber, Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio and some Dusty Concord.
• I lifted the stencil off, clean it and then repositioned it just to the top corner.  I masked off the area I had already stenciled before inking again with more of the above mentioned colours.  I repeated that process in the bottom corner as well until my card front was covered with ink.
• Using a fine line marker, I drew a border around the outside edge and added some lines along the stenciled areas.
• I die cut the sentiment from some black cardstock and the sentiment shadow right from the middle of my card base and glued those two together.
• I glued my card front onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto a piece of purple and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I added the sentiment back into place using some foam tape and placed 3 black gems around it.

Here is the stencil I used:
