Love Flower

Welcome
Meet one of the newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called

This is what I did to create my card.
  • I decided to get out my Gel Plate for this one, so I rubbed my Wilted Violet and my Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink pads directly onto my Gel Plate and blended the colours together smooth using a brayer.
  • Next, I placed the Love Flower stencil over my plate and then took a piece of white cardstock and rubbed that over my plate to create the print.
  • I placed the print into my Misti to stamp the sentiment over the middle and I rubbed some more of the Wilted Violet DOX ink along the edges to add more depth and interest.
  • I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I glued my card front panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then navy and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • To finish my card off, I added 3 black gems around the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:

    The mix of colors you get with a gel plate made your card something special, Karen. What a fabulous sentiment too. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

    Karen... Love the simplicity and the sentiment. Your post (as always) was so informative. I have never used DOX on my gel plate, nor have I ever used my Posca pens for splatter. I need to try both! Thanks so much for sharing your inspiration with Just Us Girls!
