Time to Celebrate

Good Morning

This month is just flying by and A Colorful Life Designs has a mid-month release of a new stencil called:

Chaos Squares

I decided to do a torn paper technique using the stencil.

 So here's what I did to create my card.

• I secured my Chaos Squares stencil in place with some tape over a piece of white cardstock as I wanted to be able to lift it up and down like a hinge when inking the pattern.
• I took a piece of scrap paper and tore it into strips and placed one of the strips near the top edge and inked it with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil up, removed the torn paper and placed another piece along the next section and inked again this time using some Abandoned Coral and Fossilized Amber DOX.
• I repeated that process working my way down my card front until my white cardstock was all inked up.
• I die cut a circle right from my card front and then glued it onto a larger black circle. I die cut the dandelion twice and glued that over the circle.
• I stamped the sentiment into the corner of my card front in my Misti.
• I glued my card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then orange and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the die cut circle back into place matching up the pattern.
• Finally I added some orange gems to the flower centers to finish my card off.

Here is the stencil I used:
