Starry Nights

Good Morning

Today's simple card features a new released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Diagonal Stars

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

• I got out an older released stencil called Marvelous Masks Arch and placed one of those stencils onto a piece of white cardstock. I inked that up with some Shaded Lilac, Broken China and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Diagonal Stars stencil right over it and inked with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
• I moved the stencil around and inked again to fill in some of the open areas.
• Using my white Posca pen, I added some dots to the stars and splatters to the whole card front to look like snow.
• When it was all dry, I glued my card front panel onto a piece of dark navy cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the foiled sentiment over the panel and finally, added some silver gems that matched the silver sentiment.

Welcome

Today's card is featuring 2 of the newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Christmas Montage and Marvelous Mask Arches 

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

• I began by looking through my patterned cardstock and found this green check paper.  I placed the Christmas Montage stencil over that and inked it up with some Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, I took a piece of white cardstock and placed the Marvelous Mask Arches stencil over that. I placed the Christmas Montage stencil right over the top of that and inked it up with some Hickory Smoke DOX ink.
• I removed the stencils and fussy cut out the arch.
• I placed the arch into my Misti to stamp the trees and then splattered with my white Posca pen.
• I set that aside to dry while I die cut the sentiment with some red cardstock 5 times and glued those all together.
• I glued the stenciled patterned paper to a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of red and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the arch over the patterned paper, matching up the lettering.  
• I glued the red sentiment along the bottom of the arch to finish off my card.

Lacy Snowflakes

Good Morning

Here is a non-traditional Christmas card I made using 2 newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Lacy Snowflakes and Marvelous Masks Arch

There are 2 snowflakes on one sheet and the arches come is a large variety of sizes.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 3/4" square and found the center point.  I placed one of the Marvelous Masks Arch over the first corner with the arch touching the center spot and inked with some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
• I flipped the arch over and inked the opposite corner next with more of the pink.
• I wiped the stencil off and inked the other 2 corners the same way, overlapping them with some Ripe Persimmon DOX ink.
• Next, I wanted to use some white embossing powder so I rubbed over the whole panel with my Anti-stick powder tool.
• I placed one of the Lacy Snowflakes over the stenciled bkg and rubbed some Versamark ink over the whole snowflake then I white heat embossed it.
• I took the 2nd snowflake stencil on that sheet, placed it over the embossed one and inked again with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.
• I splattered the whole panel with my white Posca pen and then added the die cut sentiment over the middle.
• I glued my finished card front to a piece of dark red cardstock and then onto a 4 1/4" square white card base.
• To finish my card off, I added 3 silver gems around the sentiment.

There is nothing like the colours of a Fall morning sky, so here's what I did to create my Fall inspired card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and then placed one of the Marvelous Masks Arch stencils over my cardstock.
• Beginning at the top of the arch, I inked it up with some Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, I inked with some Ripe Persimmon and then some Picked Raspberry DOX ink, blending them all together until the whole stencil was inked.
• I lifted the stencil off and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the flowers and the sentiment in the top corner.
• I glued my card front panel onto a piece of pink cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I added 3 black gems around the sentiment to finish my card off.
