You're Not Old, You're a Classic

Good Morning

A new month means a whole new lineup of stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.

So meet the new for April stencil called:

Escalator

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 Escalator stencil over that.  I inked with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
• I moved the stencil to the other side and inked again using some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.
• I lifted the stencil off and splattered the whole panel with my white Posca pen.
• While that dried, I stamped the sentiment and die cut it out.
• I used the Retro Mod die to cut out a piece right from the center of my card front panel and then I used the larger die of that set to cut another from some dark blue paper. I glued those 2 together.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto another piece of the dark blue paper and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to added the center piece I had cut away back into place, matching up the pattern.
• Last, I added the sentiment into the middle and added the little cut out shapes.

Welcome

I have to say that I really had some fun with the new April releases from A Colorful Life Designs.

For today's card, I used 2 of the new stencils called:

Middle Square and Broken Lines

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

• Last time I was at the Dollar Store, I picked up some Black Rainbow Scratch Paper.  It looks totally black until a pattern or drawing is scratched into it. That was my starting point.
• I placed the newly released Middle Square stencil down first and then put the Scratch paper over that.
• Using the side of a popsicle stick, I rubbed over the whole stencil to transfer the pattern. Super easy and done in a jiffy.
• I wanted the sentiment to match the panel so I took a small piece of the Scratch paper and place the Broken Lines stencil under that and rubbed over it to once again, transfer the pattern.  I used that to die cut the 'YAY'.
• I glue my card front panel onto a piece of black cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the card front.

Meet one of the April newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

Broken Lines

It has a great look and it fun to create with.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Broken Lines stencil over that.  I inked the whole panel with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• I wiped the stencil off, turned it around and then inked again with some Picked Raspberry DOX ink.
• Next, I used the die called Trapezoidal Strip and cut the panel into pieces. I glued all the pieces back into place onto another piece of white cardstock, leaving some space between the strips but matching up the pattern.
• I glue the panel onto a white A2 sized card base and set aside.
• I took some time to look through my cast off stash and found this Alcohol inked piece so I used that to die cut the sentiment.  
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment up over the top of the card.
