Sending You Sunshine

 

Good Morning and Welcome
Today's card was created using 2 of the new stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I got out my Gel Plate and I pressed my Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink pad directly on one part of the plate.  I took my Ripe Persimmon DOX pad and pressed that on the bottom part of the plate.  Using my brayer, I blended the colours together.
  • I placed the Glittering Hearts stencil onto the plate and rubbed a piece of scrap paper over to lift, then took the stencil off and rubbed my white cardstock over the plate to create the print.
  • I splattered that with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • While that dried, I rubbed some more of my Picked Raspberry DOX ink onto my Gel Plate and placed the Outline Daisies stencil over that. I rubbed another piece of white cardstock over that to get the daisy print and then I fussy cut it out.
  • I glued my card front to a piece of white cardstock, then pink and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and then used some foam tape to pop it over the base.
  • I added a black gem to the flower center and popped that up with some more of the foam tape.

Here are the stencils I used:

The string of hearts stencilled on the gelli plate print look so pretty Karen, and a great idea to add one of the stencilled hearts onto the edge of the sentiment strip, and the combination of the pink and orange works beautifully and finished perfectly with the black enamel dot in the centre of the flower. x

Karen, This is a beautiful combination of colors and textures. I love the brightness of your colors and the black center of your flower to make it 'pop.'
