Have a Colorful Day

Good Morning
I want to introduce you to just one of the new stencils for January from A Colorful Life Designs called:

This is a great stencil that includes 4 different designed hearts and a mask included as well.  
The hearts on this stencil are spaced apart which makes inking with different colours so easy.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed the Heart With Options stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked the first plain heart into the bottom right hand corner with some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
  • Beside that pink heart, I inked up the next one with some Ripe Persimmon DOX ink.
  • I repeated the inking process using all the different heart designs along the top of my card panel with more of the Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon and some Peacock Feathers DOX ink.
  • I splattered over the hearts with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I stamped the sentiment with some more of the Peacock Feathers DOX ink, clear heat embossed it, then die cut it out.
  • I glued the dried panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto a 4 1/4" square card base.
  • I popped up the sentiment with some foam tape and added 3 pearls around the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year!!!
2025
Wishing you good health, happiness and many blessings.
I'm looking forward to a year filled with fun and lots more creativity.
Let's start the year off with a newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed a piece of black cardstock onto my Make Art Station and rubbed the whole thing with an anti-static bag.
  • I then placed the Five Rings stencil over the bottom corner and inked with some Unicorn White ink.  I moved the stencil to the open area at the top corner and inked again.
  • I sprinkled the whole piece with white embossing powder and heat set.
  • I added some white splatters with my Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • Using some silver textured cardstock, I die cut the sentiment.  I cut the sentiment again 2 more times with some white cardstock and glued them all together.
  • I glued the card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then black and then onto an 4 1/4" square white card base.
  • I added the sentiment with some foam tape and a shiny gem.
