Mirror Image Stenciling

Welcome
Today's card was done in a 'mirror image' style using the new for July stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

This is what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock, then found the center diagonal point on it and drew a faint line.  I wanted that to be my starting point for placing the stencil down.
  • I placed the Maelstrom stencil on the line and then inked it up with some Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers and some Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink.
  • I lifted the stencil off and placed it onto the other side of line and inked again creating the 'mirror image' design.
  • I added the stitched frame along the edge to add more interest.
  • Next, I took the panel and die cut the sentiment right from the middle.  I glued that onto the white word shadow and set aside.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then navy and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place over the front.

Here is the stencil I used:
