Hello and Welcome
Today's card combines 2 newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I put a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and then placed the Multishadow stencil over my paper. I inked that up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
- Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Circle Love Tree stencil right on top of it and inked with some Wilted Violet DOX ink. When I lifted the stencils off, I was left with this lovely background.
- I die cut around the outline circle of the stenciled panel and glued that onto a larger white die cut circle.
- Next, I cut a 4 1/4" square white card base and glued a piece of blue cardstock over that. I used some foam dots to add the circle over the card base.
- I stamped the sentiment in my Misti and die cut it out. I used more foam tape to add it to my card front.
- To finish my card off, I added some black gems under the sentiment.
Here are the stencils I used:

ReplyDeleteI love the mix of violet and blue Karen, and the two stencils go together brilliantly, and then cut into a circle with the larger white circle behind and placed over the blue background looks great, and a lovely shaped sentiment mat too finished with some pretty black gems..a beautiful bright birthday card. x
