Rock and Roll

Welcome

Today's card is a masculine one, pretty simple one to create.

I used the new Sound Waves stencil from A Colorful Life Designs for the background.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I got out my Waffle Flower Stencil Mat and positioned the Sound Waves stencil over a piece of white cardstock.
• I inked over the stencil with some Broken China Distress ink and covered the whole piece of cardstock.
• I took another scrap of white cardstock and stenciled that next.  
• I cut the scrap down so it would match up with the background stenciling, then placed that into my Misti to stamp the image of the guitar player.  I stamped using Archival Black so the stripes wouldn't show on the image.
• I clear heat embossed the image to help make it pop.
• I took the larger panel and placed that into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and clear heat embossed that as well.
• I glued the larger stenciled panel onto a piece of matching blue cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I pop dotted the guitar player over to the side, matching the lines up with the background.
• Finally, I added 3 black gems just under the sentiment.

I found this inky background in my stash that I had done using an embossing folder and decided to use it for a paper piecing challenge.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• Like I mentioned about, I used an embossing folder to create the base for my flower.  I opened the eb folder and rubbed some Peacock Feathers Distress ink over it, sprayed with a bit of water and closed the folder and pressed.  It transferred the ink without giving it the embossing which is what I wanted....a flat surface to stamp onto.
• I placed the inked piece into my Misti, and stamped the flower to one side.
• I found a scrap piece of inked cs to use for the flower head.  This one was a gel plate printed scrap. I stamped just the flower head onto the scrap and fussy cut it out.
• I stamped the sentiment to the side and then glued the panel onto some matching blue cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.  
• I pop dot mounted the flower head into place over the stamped image, then added the black gems.

Welcome

Today, I'm playing with this very fun stencil called Uneven Rotation from A Colorful Life Designs.

When I saw it, I thought of this stamp right away.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I got out my Stencil Mat and laid the Uneven Rotation stencil over a piece of white cardstock.
• I inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, I shifted the stencil slightly and inked it up with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.  I repeated that step one more time and inked with Shaded Lilac.
• I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the silhouette over the stenciled background.  I tried to center it to the circle as best I could.
• I stamped the sentiment over it near the top in my Misti.
• To assemble, I glued the finished panel onto a piece of coloured cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.

Fairy Flowers

Hello and Welcome

Meet Fairy Flowers....another super fun stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

This one is another new release and makes for a very cheerful card.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I first decided how I wanted to add the flowers using the Fairy Flowers to my white card front panel.  Using some Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink, I stenciled just the stems of the flowers.
• Using another piece of white cardstock, I stenciled the flowers using some Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and a hint of Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink.  I added some Black Soot just to the centers of the flowers.
• I fussy cut out the flowers and set them aside so I could finish working on the main panel with the stems.  
• I stamped the sentiment from High Hopes into the corner of the panel.
• Using the Simple Grid stencil, I added some random bits of inking by lightly adding some Peacock Feathers.  It really helped to add interest to the background.
• Next, I splattered with my black Posca pen and let dry.
• To help give the flowers more interest, I added some black dots around the flower center with my Posca pen.
• Time to assemble....I glued the panel onto a piece of navy cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
• I pop dotted the fussy cut flower heads over the stems,
