Scalloped Harlequin

Welcome
I had fun playing with this newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called;

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed the Scalloped Harlequin stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink along the middle and then some Picked Raspberry DOX ink along the edges.
  • I cleaned the stencil off, shifted the position and then inked again with some Fossilized Amber DOX ink.
  • I removed the stencil and stamped the Grunge stamp over the whole panel with some more of the Ripe Persimmon DOX ink.
  • I splattered the panel with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • While that dried, I inked another piece of white cardstock with the same colours as used above and stamped it too with the same Grunge stamp.  I used that to die cut the sentiment.
  • I wanted a 'stacked' sentiment so I die cut the Hello 4 x's with some white cardstock and glued them all together, added the inked one to the very top.
  • I glued the stenciled card front panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then pink and then onto a white 4 1/4" square card base.
  • Finally, I glued the sentiment over the middle of the card base and added some gems to finish off my card.

Here is the stencil I used:
