Feeling Happy

Welcome
I had such fun creating this card using the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

So here's what I did to make this simple card.
  • I took a piece of white cardstock and placed the Celtic Mask stencil over my paper. I inked it up with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink.
  • I took another piece of white cardstock and inked that up with some Peacock Feathers DOX ink and then cut out just part of the design and set aside.
  • I splattered the darker blue panel with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I die cut the little penguin with some black and white cardstock and glued them together.
  • I placed the cut out design into my Misti and stamped the sentiment across the top, then glued the little penguin just under that.
  • I glued the main panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then navy blue and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I added the cut out piece with some foam tape to pop it up, matching the design.

Here is the stencil I used:

The sweet little die cut penguin looks so cute over the darker blue outer edge and lighter blue centre of the Celtic Mask stencilled background, but with that touch of darker ink blended just behind the penguin which works well Karen, and finished with a lovely sentiment. x
