Let the Music Play

Hello and Good Morning

Today' card features another one of the newly released stencils for March from A Colorful Life Designs called;

MUSIC

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

• I found some fun cardstock papers in my stash that I had picked up at the Dollar Store awhile ago but hadn't used. I began by picking out the paper I wanted to use for the cover and die cut the little album cover first.  
• I placed the new MUSIC stencil over the cover and inked it up with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink. I splattered with my white Posca pen just over the sentiment and set aside to dry.
• Next, I die cut the record from a piece of black cardstock and glued the blue middle die cut to the center of it. (You can't see it in the photo, but the die actually puts the grooves in the record)
• I picked out another piece of the cardstock and glued it to a piece of white and then a piece of blue and the onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I glued the record album cover over the background and slipped the record into the sleeve.

Here is the stencil I used:

Welcome

Today's card features one of the new stencils for July called Layered Arches from A Colorful Life Designs.

I decided to use it in a different way.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and got out the new to me Catherine Pooler Carnivale ink set. I then decided what colours I wanted to use on the panel. I'm using one of the Paint Swatches stamps from the Simon Hurley set to do this technique.

Here is the stamp from the set I used.

• I inked up the smallest stamp from the Paint Swatches set with some Grape Crush and pressed that onto the bricks of the Layered Arches stencil to impress the pattern of the bricks, then stamped it to one side of my panel.
• I repeated that same process, stamping from left to right using some All That Jazz, Samba and finally some Be Mine ink.
• When the panel was dry, I die cut the shadow from the 'hello' die right from the center. I then die cut the word from some white cardstock and glued them together.
• I didn't have any matching blue cardstock to use as a border, so I inked up another piece of white cardstock with some All That Jazz ink and glued the finished panel onto that.
• I glued that onto an A2 sized card base and used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place over the panel.
