Summer Breeze

Welcome
Meet 2 of the new for JUNE stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I started by creating the sailboat panel first. I inked up my Gel Plate with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink, placed one the images from the  Two Sea Panels Stencil onto the plate and rubbed my cardstock over that to transfer the image.
  • I trimmed it down, glued it onto a piece of white cardstock and set that aside.
  • For the background, I inked up my Gel Plate again with some Mermaid Lagoon and some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink, then placed the Lapping Waves stencil onto my plate and rubbed to transfer the pattern.  I lifted the stencil and rubbed my paper over it again, creating this fun background.
  • I glue the waves background onto a piece of white cardstock, then blue and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I used some foam tape to pop the boat panel up over to the side.  
  • I die cut the sentiment and glued it onto the other side to finish my card off.

Here are the stencils I used:

This is a pretty summery card Karen and looks great in shades of blue, and the large 'Friend' die cut placed running up the card looks great. x
