Hello My Friend

Good Morning
Today's simple card was created using one of the new for April stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

This is how I created my card.
  • I placed the Arrows stencil just along the bottom edge of my card front and inked it up with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
  • I cleaned the stencil off and placed it along the top edge of my card front panel and inked again with some Cracked Pistachio DOX ink.
  • When I looked at the stenciled panel, I felt it needed something more, so I used my white Posca pen to add some dots and lines over the stenciled areas and set that aside to dry.
  • I die cut the 'Hello' with some blue cardstock and then I glued the word shadow with white cardstock 5 times and glued those all together as I wanted a raised sentiment without having to use foam tape.
  • I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then blue that matched the sentiment and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • I glued the 'Hello' over to the side and then to finish my card off, I added 3 blue gems around the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
