Big Hello

Welcome

Today's card is a simple CAS with lots of texture.  

So meet one of the new stencils for January from A Colorful Life Designs called 

Arabesque Tile

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

• I began by taking a piece of white cardstock and placed it into an Embossing Folder and ran it through my machine.
• Next, I took the embossed cardstock, placed it onto my Make Art Station and placed the Arabesque Tile stencil over that.  I inked it with some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, using a sanding block, I gently sanded off some of the raised areas to add interest.
• I die cut the 'Hello' letters with some red cardstock and then again 3 more times with some white cardstock and glued them all together as I wanted a raised sentiment.
• I splattered the sentiment using my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I glued the sentiment across the card front to finish it off.

Here is the stencil I used:
