'Orange' You Glad It's Christmas

Good Morning
No new releases from A Colorful Life Designs this month but so fun to revisit the 'Oldies but Goodies'.
Today I'm using these stencils:  

I decided to go totally non-traditional for this one. 
I found this roll off sheet that I had done while Gel Plate printing so that was my starting point. 

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began by placing the Triangle Fade stencil over the roll off print and inked it up with some Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink.
  • I lifted that stencil off and laid the Stitched Harlequin stencil over the pattern and inked again with some Black Soot DOX ink.
  • Next, I added some white dots with my Posca pen to brighten up the background a bit.
  • I set that aside to dry while I stamped and die cut the sentiment.
  • I glued the dried stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock but I didn't have any orange to match, so I took a piece of white cardstock and rubbed my Abandoned Coral ink pad over it and splattered with my white Posca pen. I used that to border my card front and glued that onto a 4 1/4" square card base.
  • To finish my card off, I used some foam tape to add the sentiment and I put 3 little black gems under the sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:
