Good Morning
Meet the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called
It really made for a fun background for this holiday inspired card.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art station and put the Snowflake Grid stencil over it. I inked it up with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
- I removed the stencil and to add a bit more interest to the stenciled background, I took the eraser end of a pencil and some Tumbled Glass DOX ink and added the dots into the open areas between the grids.
- Next, I took the panel and die cut the Drifting Snowflakes right across the top part of the inked cardstock. I die cut the shadow portion of the snowflakes with some blue cardstock and glued them together.
- I stamped the sentiment with more of the Salty Ocean ink and then die cut it out.
- I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of matching blue cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
- I used some foam tape to pop the snowflakes back into place at the top and then added the sentiment in the bottom corner.
- The final touch was to add some silver gems to the middle of the snowflakes.
Here is the stencil I used:
