Through the Window

 

Good Morning and Welcome

Lots of wonderful new releases for October over at A Colorful Life Designs.

Today's card is featuring 2 of the new stencils for this month called:

Scandinavian Flowers and 16 Square Shadow

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and placed the 16 Square Shadow stencil over my panel.  I inked over that with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink to fill in the squares, then added a bit of Tumbled Glass DOX ink along the edges just to add a bit more interest.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Scandinavian Flowers stencil over it and inked it up with some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.
• I splattered the whole panel with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• While that dried, I stamped and then die cut the sentiment.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment up over to the side.

Here are the stencils I used:

Welcome

Today's card is featuring one of my favourite new stencils called Scandinavian Quilt from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock, put it onto my Make Art Station and placed the Scandinavian Quilt stencil over that.
• I used some tape to mask off the middle area as I wanted a 2 tone colour card.  
• I inked up the middle with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink, added some shading with some Uncharted Mariner.
• I removed the tape I had used to mask and positioned it along the area I had just inked.  I inked up the top and bottom area with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide.
• Next, to add a bit of interest, I scored some lines top and bottom using my ScorPal and then splattered with my white Posca pen.
• I glued the finished panel onto an A2 card base and used some foam tape to add the pre-printed sentiment.

Hello and Welcome

Meet today's card.

Again, I am using a previously painted Gel Plate print.

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

• I looked through my Gel Plate prints and roll off sheets that I keep in a folder just for this reason.  This one wasn't pretty, so I decided to try and make it into something.
• I placed the piece into this lovely embossing folder called Scandinavian Christmas that I got as a gift and ran it through my machine.
• Using a sanding block, I sanded off the raised areas to reveal the design. Be sure to sand carefully over the cardstock as too much pressure may tear the paper.
• I brushed away the residue left from the sanding and glued the panel onto a heavy white card base.
• I splattered the panel using my white Posca pen to add a snowy effect.
• I stamped the sentiment and cut it out, then used some foam tape to mount it into the middle of my card front.
• I added 3 green gems under the sentiment.

Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
