Blooming Birthday


Welcome
Today's card has a fun, festive look to it.
I used the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Mixed Shapes Stencil over that.  I inked with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
  • I lifted the stencil, wiped it off and placed it back down, then inked again with some Wilted Violet DOX ink.  
  • I repeated that whole process one more time, inking finally with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.  By layering the colours, it made for such a fun background.
  • I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I die cut the flower and added some Peacock Feathers ink to the petals and die cut the sentiment with some purple cardstock and glues it to the white shadow die.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of dark purple and then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I added the sentiment to the center with some foam tape and the flower right beside it.

Here is the stencil I used:

Another interesting stencilled background Karen and some pretty colours too, and the added large blue and pink daisy and violet 'Happy Birthday' die cuts looks great over the top...a really pretty and vibrant card. x
