When You Wish Upon a Star

Good Morning

Today's card was a fun, simple one using 2 of the new for August stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Bauhaus Poster and Bauhaus Circle Mask

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

• I placed the Bauhaus Poster stencil on an angle over a piece of white cardstock and inked one side with some Ripe Persimmon  Distress Oxide ink and the other side with some Picked Raspberry DOX ink.
• I wanted to add more interest to the background, so I left that stencil in place and put the Bauhaus Circle Mask right over the top.  I inked over the orange with some Carved Pumpkin and the pink side with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.
• I place my stenciled card front into my Misti to stamp the image which I clear heat embossed to help it show up better against the busy background.
• I set that aside and die cut the sentiment 5 times with some black cardstock and glued them together, creating a stacked sentiment.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then some pink and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I glued the sentiment into the top corner to finish off my card.

Here are the stencils I used:

Welcome.

Got a fun filled card for you today featuring the new for June stencil called What a Splash from 

A Colorful Life Designs.

I paired it up with a previous release called to Ink Blot create this fun card.

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the What a Splash stencil over that.  I inked it up with some Salty Ocean and a hint of Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stencil and replaced it with the Ink Blot stencil and inked that up with some Peacock Feathers DOX ink.  Those colours worked so well together.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen to help add more of the look of rain falling.
• When it was dry, I placed it into my Misti and stamped the silhouette and sentiment.
• I glued the finished panel onto a piece of blue cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Lastly, I added 3 black gems around the sentiment.

Welcome

Meet today's card.

A very simple one featuring this stencil called Big Fat Drops from ACLD and this fun silhouette image from Technique Junkies.  

I thought it was a fitting card since we have had sooooo much rain here where I live and my little kiddos just love going out and splashing and dancing in the rain.

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

• I began by creating this simple background using my Gel Plate.  I pressed my Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide pad directly onto my Gel plate near the top.  Leaving some spaced between, I pressed my Peacock Feathers DOX ink right underneath that then I brayered the colours together creating sort of an ombre effect.
• Next, I laid the Big Fat Drops stencil over the Gel Plate and using the end of a paint brush handle, I gently pushed against the stencil to get good contact. 
• I lifted off the stencil and rubbed a piece of white cardstock over the plate and lifted the print.  It had a fun, watery look to it which is what I wanted.
• I splattered with some diluted Mermaid Lagoon ink to help with the feel of the raindrops.
• When it was all dry, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the image and the sentiment.
• I glued it onto a piece of blue cardstock, then black to tie in with the black silhouette images, then onto a white card base.

Here is the stencil I used:

A New Day

Good Morning

Meet today's card.  

I am loving playing with this Sun and Surf stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

I wanted to make a card of encouragement....I think this speaks to that.

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock and placed the Sun and Surf stencil over it.  I masked off the top part of the stencil and then inked up the water using some Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks. 
• I moved the mask and then using some Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold and a hint of Barn Door Distress Oxide inks, I inked the sunshine.
• I removed the mask and using a circle die, I cut it out. 
• I placed the circle into my Misti and stamped the Praise Silhouette over the stenciled background with some Versafine Clair ink and then clear heat embossed it to make it pop.
• I set that aside and cut my card front.  I placed that into my ScorPal and used my ScorBug to add some details to the background.  It added a lot of interest.
• I glued the scored panel onto a white card base, then pop dotted the circle over that.  I pop dotted the sentiment as well.
