Beach Days

Hello and Welcome

Today's card is featuring the new for June stencil called Wave Cloud which I inked up over the 3 Rectangle Shadow stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

There is also a new stamp set called Chasing the Sun that is perfect for summer.

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 placed the 3 Rectangle Shadow stencil over the cardstock and then the Wave Cloud on top of that and inked it up with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the Wave Cloud stencil, but left the 3 Rectangles in place and inked around the edges with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.
• I took the stenciled panel and placed it into my Misti to stamp the beach chairs and the sentiment.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.

Here are the stencils and stamp set I used:

Good Morning

Today's card features 2 new fun stencils for June called Lush Flowers and Wave Cloud from A Colorful Life Designs.

I did some stencil layering to come up with this fun card.

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  
• I positioned the Lush Flowers stencil over that and inked it up with some Broken China and some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I positioned the Wave Cloud stencil over the flowers and inked again, this time with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.  It added such a fun design to the background.
• Next, I stamped the sentiment in some Salty Ocean DOX ink and die cut it out.
• I glued the stenciled card front to a piece of light blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the background.

In the Moment

Welcome

Just popping in with a card I made using two great stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.

Before I get into the steps of making my card, I want to thank-you so much for your continued support and wonderful, uplifting comments.

I have been struggling to get it all done....visiting your blogs and trying to figure out what I will do about my Followers when Feedburner goes away in July. 

I am so busy with my little ones (5 little daycare kiddos), working long hours and not finding much time to be on the computer.  I will be coming to visit you all as soon as I can.  

If anyone has ANY helpful tips about what to do with Followers on Blogger, please let me know.  I really don't want to have to pay for a service.  I am feeling very overwhelming by it all as I am totally not computer savvy!! 

Well enough said.

Here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by cutting a white cardstock panel.  I placed the Cloud Edger Stencil from ACLD over my panel and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and a hint of Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks.  I used a light touch as I wanted the clouds to look fluffy and not heavy.  I inked the stencil along one edge and kept moving it down until the card panel was all inked up.
• I removed the Cloud Edger and positioned the Landscape Rays over the panel and inked with more of the same inks that I had used for the clouds.

• I removed the stencil and placed the panel into my Misti.  I inked up the trees from Frog's Whiskers with some Versafine Clair ink and stamped it over the background.  
• Next, I stamped the sentiment from Daisy Bucket and added 3 black gems.
• I glued it onto a heavy white card base.
