Welcome
Meet today's card.
Very simple one done using a leftover piece I had stamped from a previous project.
Not big enough for a whole card base, but worked out for this smaller size card.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I found this piece of cardstock in my stash that I had stamped with a plaid background stamp and some Cracked Pistachio Distress ink. I used a part of it for another project, so was left with a smaller piece that wasn't big enough for a card base, so decided to layer over it with a stencil.
- I got out my Leaf Doily stencil from ACLD and positioned it over the plaid stamping.
- Using some Forest Moss Distress ink, I started blending into the center area of the doily. I blended some Mowed Lawn DI more into the outside edges.
- I liked the look, but the stenciling was sort of lost over the stamping, so I got out a fine line black marker, repositioned the stencil and traced around the inside edges to add detail. Much Better!
- I decided to fussy cut it out along the edges of the stencil, then used my black marker to the cut edges.
- I glued it to a piece of green cardstock, then added it to a 4 1/4" white square note card.
- I die cut the Hello once onto the green cardstock and then again onto white so I could layer and offset them.
- I added a green gem to the center of the doily, then glued on the hello.
Here is the stencil I used:
