Rock and Roll

Welcome

Today's card is a masculine one, pretty simple one to create.

I used the new Sound Waves stencil from A Colorful Life Designs for the background.

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

• I got out my Waffle Flower Stencil Mat and positioned the Sound Waves stencil over a piece of white cardstock.
• I inked over the stencil with some Broken China Distress ink and covered the whole piece of cardstock.
• I took another scrap of white cardstock and stenciled that next.  
• I cut the scrap down so it would match up with the background stenciling, then placed that into my Misti to stamp the image of the guitar player.  I stamped using Archival Black so the stripes wouldn't show on the image.
• I clear heat embossed the image to help make it pop.
• I took the larger panel and placed that into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and clear heat embossed that as well.
• I glued the larger stenciled panel onto a piece of matching blue cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I pop dotted the guitar player over to the side, matching the lines up with the background.
• Finally, I added 3 black gems just under the sentiment.

Good Morning

I'm sending you a rainbow of colours today with the card I created using one of the new releases for February from A Colorful Life Designs called Sound Waves.

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

• I got out some leftover pieces of cardstock and placed one of them onto my Waffle Flower Stencil Mat.  I positioned the Sound Waves stencil over that and I inked the first one up with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink. I removed that and cleaned off the stencil.  
• I took the remaining scraps and repeated the above process using Carved Pumpkin next, Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio and finally Peacock Feathers DOX ink.
• I cut the pieces into size and glued them one by one onto a piece of white cardstock, creating the look of a rainbow.
• While that dried, I die cut the sentiment 3 times and glued them all together.
• I glued the inked panel onto an A2 sized card base, then glued the sentiment over the center area.
• Finally, I added 3 little matching gems.
