Candy Stripes

Welcome

Meet today's card.

A simple one using the newly released Candy Stripes stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  
• I positioned the Candy Stripes stencil over my cardstock and inked it up with some Barn Door Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil off and repositioned it going in the other direction so the stripes would intersect each other.  I inked that with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and splattered with my white Posca pen.
• When it was all dry, I die cut the circle directly from one side of the stenciled background.  I cut a white circle from another piece of cardstock and glued the 2 together.
• I placed the die cut circle into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and I clear heat embossed it to help it pop.
• I glued the stiped panel onto a piece of red cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the circle back into place, matching up the stripes.
• Lastly, I added 3 black gems just under the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:

Welcome

Today's fun card was created using 2 new stencil releases for September from A Colorful Life Designs called

Layered Candy Corn and Lots of Pumpkins.

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and placed stencil #1 from the Layered Candy Corn stencil and inked that up with some Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed that stencil and continued with Stencil #2 and 3 using some Ripe Persimmon and some Fossilized Amber DOX ink.
• After the whole panel was stenciled, I die cut it using a Layered Chevron die and set aside.
• Next, I stenciled one of the pumpkins from the Lots of Pumpkins stencil with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink and added a hint of Black Soot DOX ink just to add some shading. This stencil has such a great variety of images to choose from.  I fussy cut that out and set aside.
• I figured out how much space I needed for my little pumpkin on the largest piece of my background, then stamped the sentiment so it would be under the pumpkin.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of cardstock, offsetting the chevrons a bit, then glued all that onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the pumpkin at the top over the sentiment.
