Groovy Hello

Hello there!

Meet today's card.

A fun one using another one of the newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Twisty Grid

The technique I used for my card is referred to as 'Joseph's Coat'.

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

• I wanted a bold and bright look for this card so I took a piece of white cardstock and inked it with my Distress Oxide inks in these colours: Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and some Ripe Persimmon.
• I set that aside to dry and before going on with the next step, I used an anti-static powder all over the card front. (This step is very important or you will not be able to achieve the results.)
• I placed the Twisty Grid stencil over my inked background and went over it with some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and then clear heat embossed it.
• I die cut the "HELLO THERE" 3 times with some black cardstock and glued them together.  I die cut it again with some white and glued them together, offsetting the white a bit to help the sentiment show up better against the dark background.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto a piece of blue and then finally, onto an A2 sized card base.
• The last step was to glue the sentiment to the middle of the card front.

Good Morning

Isn't this new for August Crumpled Checks stencil from A Colorful Life Designs so fun?

I did a fun technique called Joseph's Coat to bring my card to life.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and did some ink blending with my Distress Oxide inks.  From top to bottom these are the colours I used:  Villainous Potion, Uncharted Mariner, Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, Fossilized Amber.
• I set it aside to dry completely before moving onto the next steps.  
• When it was dry, I placed it onto my Make Art Station and rubbed over it with some anti-static powder.  This is an important step for this technique to work.
• I positioned the Crumpled Checks stencil over my inky background and inked up with some Versafine Clair ink.  
• I carefully removed the stencil and sprinkled some clear embossing powder over the whole piece and heat embossed it.
• I die cut the sentiment onto some black cardstock and added it onto a piece of clear vellum.
• I glued the inked panel onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment along the bottom and added 3 black gems.

Today's card is just filled with fun.

I used the new Atoms stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I decided to use the 'Joseph's Coat' technique for my card so I began with a piece of white cardstock and inked that up from left to right with these Distress Oxide inks...Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry, Lumberjack Plaid, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers.
• I dried the inked panel and then placed it onto my Make Art Station.  I positioned the Atoms stencil over the background and inked it up with some Versafine Clair Black ink and clear heat embossed it.
• While the panel cooled, I die cut the sentiment in white and glued it to the black shadow.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of black cardstock and then onto an A2 white card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment along the bottom and added 3 black gems.
