Make it a Good Day


Welcome
Today, I'm playing with a newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called
This stencil is so unique and fun.  

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed the Op Art Bench stencil over a piece of white cardstock and secured it well.
  • Starting at the top of my stencil, I inked with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink. Moving down the stencil, I inked next with some Ripe Persimmon and then finally some Picked Raspberry DOX along the bottom.
  • I removed the stencil and splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I went into my scrap box where I found the inky piece to die cut the flowers.  
  • As I looked, I also found another piece that I had inked using the A Lot of Angles, also from A Colorful Life Designs.  I die cut the sentiment from that piece. This sentiment did NOT come with a shadow, so I traced around the die onto black cardstock, fussy cut it out and glued those together.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of orange cardstock, then a piece of pink and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • I added the flowers along the side and used some foam tape to pop up the sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:

Another great combination of two stencils Karen, and I love the bright and pretty colours, and the black shadow behind the die cut sentiment really makes it pop. x
