Good Morning
Hope you had a good weekend.
It goes by so fast!
So meet today's card.
I wanted to try and use a stenciled background in a different way. I also wanted to play with this newly released stencil called Scribble Sphere from ACLD.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I cut a piece of white cardstock and place it onto my Waffle Flower stencil mat.
- Next, I pulled out some Distress Oxide colours that I thought would work well together. They were: Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and some Wilted Violet. I inked over the Scribble Sphere stencil, blending those colours together.
- I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
- While that dried, I started looking through my stamp stash to find a good sentiment to use for the center. I came across this older one from Penny Black and decided to use it. I simply stamped it onto a piece of white cardstock and glued it onto a piece of pink cardstock that matched the stenciled piece.
- I cut a piece of white cardstock that was 4 inches square.
- I cut the stenciled panel into 4 pieces and mitered the corners to create a frame, taking into consideration the size of my sentiment. By mitering the corners, it broke up the pattern and added more interest rather then just cutting away the center.
- I used some foam tape to add the mitered strips that would become my frame, then glued the sentiment into the center.
- I glued that onto a card base that was 4 1/4 inches square and finally added 3 orange gems. It
