Friendship is Special

Welcome

Meet another one of the newly released stencils for April from A Colorful Life Designs called:

THREE Xs

This stencil can be used is so many different ways; inked then cut apart along the lines, overlapping inking, stencil layering....so many ideas. 

For today though, I kept it simple by inking and adding a die cut frame.

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

• I placed the THREE Xs stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked just across the middle with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink. Next, I inked with some Cracked Pistachio DOX and then along the bottom and top edges I used more of the Broken China ink.
• While that dried, I did cut the frame with some black cardstock and set aside.
• I took a scrap of white paper and inked it with the above mentioned colours and used that to die cut the sentiment.
• I glued the black frame over my stenciled card front and then glued that onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the 'friend' sentiment over the frame and added some silver gems to finish off my card.

Here is the stencil I used:
