When You Wish Upon a Star

Good Morning
Today's card was a fun, simple one using 2 of the new for August stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

So, here's what I did to create my layered stencil card.
  • I placed the Bauhaus Poster stencil on an angle over a piece of white cardstock and inked one side with some Ripe Persimmon  Distress Oxide ink and the other side with some Picked Raspberry DOX ink.
  • I wanted to add more interest to the background, so I left that stencil in place and put the Bauhaus Circle Mask right over the top.  I inked over the orange with some Carved Pumpkin and the pink side with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.
  • I place my stenciled card front into my Misti to stamp the image which I clear heat embossed to help it show up better against the busy background.
  • I set that aside and die cut the sentiment 5 times with some black cardstock and glued them together, creating a stacked sentiment.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then some pink and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I glued the sentiment into the top corner to finish off my card.

Here are the stencils I used:

The same two words for the sentiment but used the other way round here which works well, and in black to match the sweet little figure looking up at it, and the two Bauhaus stencils look great together in pink and orange..a fabulous card Karen. x
