Your Special Day!

Welcome

Today's card features this beautiful butterfly and the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Flower Globe

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Flower Globe stencil over that.  I inked with these Distress Oxide colours:  Salty Ocean, Uncharted Mariner, Shaded Lilac and some Villainous Potion.
• Next, I cut the stenciled flower circle in half and die cut the background of the wings from each side of the circle.
• I die cut the outline of the butterfly with some black cardstock and then glued it over the piece I had cut from the circles to complete the look of the butterfly.
• I glued the 2 halves of the circles onto a piece of white cardstock and then onto a piece of black and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the butterfly over the circles, matching up the pattern.
• I added some bling all along the butterfly body and then stamped the sentiment with Versamark and white heat embossed it.  I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment underneath the butterfly.

Here is the stencil I used:

Today's card features a new stencil called Classic Travel from A Colorful Life Designs.

This stencil set includes 3 different images on one sheet.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
• I placed the inked cardstock into my Misti and stamped the map image with some black Versafine Clair ink.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I took another piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  I put the compass image from the Classic Travel stencil over my paper and inked it up with some more Broken China DOX ink.
• To help it look more like a compass, I covered it with some Nuvo Crystal Glaze. It takes awhile for the Glaze to dry, but when it was, I fussy cut it out.  Sorry, the picture doesn't do it justice, I just kept getting a glare.
• I glued the map background to an A2 sized card base and then I glued the black flourish die cut over that.  A friend gifted me a package of these die cut flourishes and I thought one of them would work well on this card.  I glued the compass shape onto the center of flourish.

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!

Today, I'm playing with 2 new stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called Air Jaunt and Classic Travel.

I paired these 2 stencils with each other to create a simple CAS 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 one of the elements of the Classic Travel stencil over my paper, centering it.  This stencil has 3 different element on it as you can see below.
• Next, I inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink and a hint of some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink to add some shadowing.
• I removed that stencil and positioned the Air Jaunt stencil around the earth image and inked that with some more Uncharted Mariners DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.

Here are the stencils I used:
