Let's Go Retro

 

Welcome
I can't believe it's August already but I am excited about all the new releases at A Colorful Life Designs.
 If you love mid century designs, you are going to love the new releases.
Meet 2 of the new releases called:

Here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed the Mid Century Single Rainbow stencil over a piece of white cardstock and starting at the left hand side I inked with my Distress Oxide inks in these colours: Dusty Concord, Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard Seed.
  • Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Mid Century Circles and Squares stencil right over it and inked again with some Villainous Potion DOX ink, creating a fun layered look to the background.
  • Next, I die cut the sentiment from black cardstock 5 times and glued them all together to make a stacked sentiment.  I die cut the word shadow right from the middle of my stenciled card front and glued those together.
  • I glued my stenciled card front panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of black and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • I glued the sentiment back into place on the card front, matching up the pattern.

Here are the stencils I used:

Another fun way of using two stencils Karen and they work together brilliantly. I love the colour combo and the 'good vibes' sentiment layer cut from it looks great too. x
