Summer Breeze

Welcome

Meet 2 of the new for JUNE stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Lapping Waves and Two Sea Panels

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

• I started by creating the sailboat panel first. I inked up my Gel Plate with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink, placed one the images from the  Two Sea Panels Stencil onto the plate and rubbed my cardstock over that to transfer the image.
• I trimmed it down, glued it onto a piece of white cardstock and set that aside.
• For the background, I inked up my Gel Plate again with some Mermaid Lagoon and some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink, then placed the Lapping Waves stencil onto my plate and rubbed to transfer the pattern.  I lifted the stencil and rubbed my paper over it again, creating this fun background.
• I glue the waves background onto a piece of white cardstock, then blue and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the boat panel up over to the side.  
• I die cut the sentiment and glued it onto the other side to finish my card off.

Welcome

Meet my cute little card for today that I made using the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Fish Scales

I paired it up with one of my all time favourite stencils called

Cloud Edger

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

• I decided to use the stencil as waves, so I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station, then put the Fish Scales stencil over that and secured it well. 
• Starting at the top, I inked with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. I move down and inked with some Salty Ocean DOX ink in the middle and then finished off with some Prize Ribbon DOX ink along the bottom.
• When the ink was dry, I cut along the scalloped edge and set aside.
• I took another piece of white cardstock, placed the Cloud Edger stencil down and inked it up with the same colours mentioned above. The Cloud stencil is so easy to use. You ink it up, move it and ink again until you get the look you want.
• I used some foam tape to add the scallop piece I had cut under the clouds.
• I stamped the boat and the sentiment, clear heat embossed them and added those to my scene using some foam tape.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then blue, then onto an A2 sized card base.

Cruising On By

Good Morning

Today's card came to be after I found this stenciled panel using the Primitive Batik stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  It reminded me of waves in the water.

Just a fun, simple card.

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

• I found this stenciled panel in my stash using the Primitive Batik stencil.  I am guessing at the colours I used...I forgot to write them on the back.  I think from top to bottom I started with Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Blueprint Sketch, then some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink along the bottom.
• I looked at the stenciled and panel and wondered how I could make it more interesting and use it as a scene.  I decided to cut it apart along one of the stenciled lines. 
• Next, I glued the top part that I had cut, flat onto a white cardstock panel.
• I added foam tape to the bottom section and put it in place on the panel.  Just by raising it up, improved the look I was going for. 
• I stamped the boat with some black Versafine Clair and fussy cut it out.  I stamped the sentiment in the word bubble and cut that out as well.  
• I pop dotted the word bubble and the boat over the stenciled panel.
• Finally, I glued it onto a heavy white card base to finish off my A2 size card.
