In My Thoughts

Hello and Welcome

I hope you are all doing well during these tough times.  I think we are all looking forward to going back to the way it was.

Here is a card I made using my Gel Plate.  I am really enjoying having the time to play around with it.  Using my stencils with it, I can create some beautiful backgrounds.

So here is what I did to create my card.

I began by rolling some green acrylic paint over my plate using my brayer.  I placed the Fine Vines stencil over that and pulled a print onto some paper.  I brayered on some blue and took the print for my card panel. It reminded me of a piece of textured cloth, really lovely looking.

I cut down the piece and placed it into my Misti.  I rubbed the inked background with my Anti-static bag then stamped the flowers with black and clear heat embossed them.
Next, I found the center of the panel and creased it using my ScorPal.  I grabbed a white card base and glued the scored, inked piece around the white card base, matching up the fold lines.
I stamped the sentiment to one side and then added two thin black strips of cardstock to the edges of the inked panel to add a border effect.
Lastly, I added the black gems around the sentiment for interest.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Hope you stay healthy and safe.

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.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
