Merry Little Christmas

Welcome
This month at A Colorful Life Designs, instead of new releases we are revisiting some of our favourite stencils.
I chose to combine 2 for my card called:

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I decided to make a modified MINI SLIMLINE card so here are the measurements that I cut my white card base.  Cut at 7" x 6" and score at 3 1/2".
  • I placed the Stitched Harlequin stencil over another piece of white cardstock and inked that up with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.  I lifted that stencil off before doing the next steps.
  • I took the Diagonal Stars stencil and masked around one of the stars and placed that into the middle of my stenciled panel.  I inked that up with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
  • I repeated the star on the other 2 sides until I had 3 across the front.
  • Used the eraser on the end of a pencil, I added some dots and then added more dots with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I stamped the sentiment in my Misti and then die cut it out.
  • I glued the panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of blue before adding it to the white card base.
  • To finish my card off, I added the sentiment with some foam dots and then 3 navy gems around the sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:
