Sending Joy

 

Hello and Welcome
Here's a festive holiday card that I made using the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock into the banner shape first, then I placed the Christmas Greenery stencil over that. I inked it up with some Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink.
  • I used some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink to fill in the details and then using the eraser on the end of a pencil, I added the red dots. I also added white dots randomly over the green with my white Posca pen and set that aside to dry.
  • I picked out some striped cardstock, then used that to die cut the sentiment and glued it all together.
  • I glued a piece of red cardstock onto an A2 sized white card base and added the banner shape with some foam tape.
  • I used some more of the foam tape to pop the sentiment over the background.
  • To finish my card off, I added a strip of white and red paper to the top and a red gem to the ornament.

Here is the stencil I used;
