Bring on the New Year

Good Morning

Here is another card I made for the New Year using one of the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Interconnected Circles

I layered it up with an older stencil to create this fun background.

So this is what I did to create my card.

• I began by placing an older stencil called Stitched Harlequin over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed that stencil and placed the Interconnected Circles stencil sideways over the first inking and inked with some Salty Ocean DOX ink.
• I removed that stencil and stamped over the circles with the little starburst.
• Next, I die cut a star right from my stenciled card front and then I die cut a larger one from some navy cardstock and glued those together after I stamped the sentiment over the smaller star.
• I glued my card front onto a piece of white cardstock and then navy and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• To finish my card off, I used some foam tape to pop the star back into place, matching up the pattern.

Here are the stencils I used:
