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:

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.

Here is the stencil I used:

That stencil makes a great background Karen, and I love the shades of blue, and finished with a fun sentiment and some sweet starry shapes too. x

That blue on your card is so pretty with that background. Great way to indicate a Milestone. Lol. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
