Welcome
Meet another one of the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:
There are 2 snowflakes on one stencil and they are perfect for creating those holiday/winter cards.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I started by looking through my stash of inky backgrounds and found this one that I had used as a roll off sheet while Gel Plate printing. (I think? I used some Salty Ocean, Uncharted Mariner and some Blueprint Sketch on my plate and I always keep some cardstock nearby to roll my brayer off.)
- I die cut the panel with the Wonky Stitches die and rubbed some ink along the edges as well. It really reminded me of denim.
- I placed one of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Duo stencil over my cardstock and inked it up with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
- I lifted the stencil, wiped it off and repositioned it slightly over from the first inking. Using my white Posca pen, I went over the stencil adding the white dots, creating a shadow effect.
- While that dried, I die cut the sentiment 5 times with white cardstock and glued them together stacking them together.
- I glued the stenciled panel onto a white A2 sized card base.
- Lastly, I glued the sentiment over the middle of the snowflake and added 3 silver gems around it.
Here is the stencil I used:
