Fun Friend

Welcome
Today's card is a combination of 2 new for JUNE stencils called:

Here's what I did to create this card.
  • I placed the AIRY BUBBLES stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers and some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
  • I lifted the stencil off and placed the PATTERNED NOISE stencil over the bubbles and inked just in some areas around the bubbles with the same colours.
  • I took a scrap piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some of the same inks, then used that to die cut the sentiment.
  • I die cut the sentiment 4 times with more white cardstock and glued them all together, stacking them and then glued the inked one on the top.  I did offset them a a bit to help it show up better against the background.
  • I glued my card front panel onto a piece of pale green cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • I glued the sentiment across the front and added 2 silver gems on either side of the sentiment to finish off my card. 

Here are the stencils I used:

Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio always look great together Karen, and the design with the larger Airy Bubbles on the top and bottom half and then the large die cut 'Friend' across the middle with the smaller Patterned Noise dots behind works brilliantly and the added silver gems, one each side, also help to make the word stand out, and then just the odd little second generation bit finishes it perfectly. x
