Let's Have a Celebration

Good Morning
I had such fun creating this card using 2 of the newly released stencils for May called
Both are such unique looking stencils.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed the Circle of Lines stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Salvaged Patina and some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
  • Leaving the stencil in place, I secured the Swirl Band stencil over the top of it and inked again with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink. I shifted the stencil and inked again so the background was filled in.
  • Using a die, I cut a circle right from the center of my card front panel. I glued that onto a larger white circle.
  • Next, I stamped the sentiment right over the die cut circle and set aside to dry.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock and then onto a piece of blue and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I used some foam tape to pop the circle back into place over my card front.
  • Finally, I added 3 black gems under the sentiment to finish off my card.

Here are the stencils I used:

A great combination of the two stencils Karen and I love the three blues you used, and the black stamped 'Celebrate' and three enamel dots finish it perfectly. x
