Two Card Designs, One Stencil

Good Morning.

I've got 2 cards to show you today.

They both use the same stencil and same colours, but the background design looks totally different.

So, meet the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

Chunky Chevron 

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

• I placed the Chunky Chevrons stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Picked Raspberry and some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• I wiped the stencil off, flipped it upside down and inked again with the same colours in the same areas.  It made a fun, patterned background.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti and stamped the flowers and the sentiment.
• I splattered over the flowers with my black Posca pen.
• I glued the finished piece onto some white cardstock, then orange and then onto an A2 sized card base.

So now onto CARD #2

• I cut another piece of white cardstock and placed the Chunky Chevrons stencil onto the paper and inked with some Picked Raspberry and some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil off but to get a different look then the card above, I flipped the stencil upside down and then tried to match up the chevrons instead of off setting them and inked with the same colours again.
• I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the flowers to one side and added the sentiment to the side.  
• I used my black Posca pen to splatter just around the flowers.
• I glued the dried piece onto some pink cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.

Here is the stencil I used for both cards:

Hello and Welcome

Here is another card I made using a previously stencilled background I had in my stash.

I love it as the backdrop for this large sentiment.

So here is what I did.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I placed the Lace Doily stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over my paper and rubbed on some Carved Pumpkin and some Dried Marigold DOX inks, blending them together to cover the front.

I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the large sentiment from STAMPlorations onto my card front.  It sure does make a statement.  

Leaving the piece in my Misti, I stamped the flowers along the bottom edge.  

I mounted it onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

CAS Watercolour Challenge- Flowers

Hello and Welcome.

Meet today's card.  Time for a new challenge at the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge

This month our theme is an easy one....flowers.
This month we are so happy to have Mac Mable as our Guest Designer.

I began my card by using Painter's tape to mask the edges of my watercolour paper.  I stamped the marigold flower in the bottom left hand corner using my Misti, masked it and stamped it again on either side of the first flower.  I love the look achieved by using a masking technique.

 I coloured in the flowers using my Zig markers adding colour only to the inside edges of the flowers then using a wet paintbrush, pulled the colour to the outside edges to give a watercoloured look to my flowers.

 I stamped the sentiment using my Misti again, removed the painter's tape and doodled in the border.

I always forget how fun it is to doodle on my cards.
