Dutch Tile

Welcome

Today I'm having fun creating with a new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Dutch Tile

I've made 2 cards using the same stencil but with totally different looks to them.

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

• I put a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and placed the Dutch Tile stencil over that.
• I inked the stencil with some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil, cleaned it off and then moved it over to ink again using some Peacock Feathers DOX ink, filling in more of the white areas.
• I stamped and die cut the sentiment and used some foam tape to add it to a navy die cut circle.
• I glued the stenciled panel to a piece of white cardstock, then some navy and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment to the card front.

CARD #2

Here's what I did for my second card.  Same stencil, different technique.

• I placed the Dutch Tile stencil down onto my Make Art Station and then placed a piece of white textured cardstock over that and secured well.
• Using a royal blue Crayola Crayon, I rubbed over the white cardstock to transfer the pattern.  I peeled the paper off the crayon and used the flat side of the crayon to get the best results.  It reminded me of a piece of fabric when I was done.
• Next, I cut the sentiment shadow right from the front of the card panel. 
• I rubbed a piece of white cardstock with some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink and then used that to cut out the HELLO letters. I added some white dots to the letters with my white Posca pen to give them more interest.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then some blue cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place in the center of the card front.
• Finally, I added some silver gems to the center of the flowers.

Here is the stencil I used for both cards:
