Welcome
I wanted to make one more card this month using this new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began by placing a piece of white cardstock into my Misti. I stamped the Mixed Mesh as my background using some Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink.
- Next, I inked each leaf from the Simple Leaves stencil around the edges of my cardstock over the stamped background. I varied the shades of green to add interest. I used these Distress Oxide ink colours: Speckled Egg, Rustic Wilderness and some Cracked Pistachio.
- I splattered the whole panel using my black Posca pen and set aside to dry.
- While that dried, I die cut the Hello sentiment with some black cardstock, the word shadow with some white and glued them together.
- I used a circle die and cut right from the center of my card front panel. I glued that onto a slightly larger black circle.
- I glued my card front onto a piece of white cardstock then black and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
- I used some foam tape to pop the die cut circle back into place matching it up and then glued the sentiment over that.
- I added 3 black gems under the sentiment to finish off my card.
Here is the stencil I used:

More wonderful stencilled leaves and a great stamped mesh background Karen with the bit of black splattering over it all, and the central circle cut from the piece and with the bold black die cut mat, 'Hello' and gems finishes it perfectly. x
