Feel the Sun on Your Face

Hello and Welcome
I decided to make a card by combining 2 new for JUNE stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Vibrant Sunset stencil over it.  I masked off between the waves and the sun and I inked up the sun with some Fossilized Amber and some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
  • Next, I moved the masks to cover over the sunshine. I inked up the waves with some Tumbled Glass DOX ink, shifted the stencil and inked again with some Broken China DOX ink.
  • Leaving the stencil ink place, I put the Lapping Waves stencil over it and inked with some Salty Ocean DOX ink. By adding the additional inking, the waves had so much more movement and interest.
  • I placed my card front panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment, centering it under the sun.
  • I glued my card front onto a piece of white cardstock and then onto some blue and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • I added 2 black gems on either side of the sentiment to finish my card off.

Here are the stencils I used:
