Christmas is Coming

Welcome

Christmas is coming quickly, so I decided to make a simple cas card.

It's so disappointing this year as Canada Post is on strike and no Christmas cards can be sent.  

For today's card I used this fun stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Dot Duo

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

• I placed the Dot Duo stencil over a piece of white cardstock and got out the inks I wanted to use.
• I wanted to give my card front a unique look, so I cut another piece of white cardstock to use as a mask while stenciling.  I placed the mask along the top corner over the stencil and inked with some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink.
• I moved the mask down on an angle and inked again with some Twisted Citron DOX ink.  
• I repeated that process again using some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink next and just continued that process until my whole card front was inked up.
• I removed the stencil and splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I die cut the 'Jingle Bells' sentiment with some greens and red cardstock and glued that all together.
• I glued my card front onto a piece of red cardstock, then green, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the sentiment and added 3 red gems around it.

Here is the stencil I used:
