I'm Thinking of You

For June we have welcomed lots of newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.  

Meet just one of the new ones called:

Tiki Room

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

• I began by securing the Tiki Room stencil on my desk and then laid a piece of white cardstock over the stencil.
• Using a blue Crayola crayon, I removed the paper wrapping it has on it, laid the crayon on it's side and rubbed over just the middle section of the stencil to reveal the pattern.
• I repeated that process using a purple crayon along both sides.  It is such a fun and very easy technique to do with your stencils.
• Using my white Posca pen, I splattered the whole panel.
• Next, I stamped and die cut the sentiment with some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink.
• I glued my stenciled card front to a piece of white, then blue and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the middle and then added silver gems around it.

Here is the stencil I used:

Welcome

Today's card was a fun one to create. 

It's the last day of July and I wanted to show you one more new releases stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Mid Century Atomic Teardrops

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

• I placed the Mid Century Atomic Teardrops stencil over a piece of white cardstock and then inked it up with these Distress Oxide colours:  Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and some Uncharted Mariner.  
• I moved the stencil over and filled in some of the white areas with the same colours mentioned above.
• I removed the stencil and set aside to let the ink dry.
• I die cut the birthday sentiment with a piece of dark blue cardstock and then cut it 3 more times with some white cardstock.  I glued them all together, stacking them on top of each other to make a raised sentiment.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto another piece of the dark blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment over the middle of the card front on an angle and finally, added 3 silver gems to give more interest around the sentiment.

Good morning.

Today's clean and simple card combines 2 new for August stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called  

 Dots In and Out and Square Line Up.

I just love playing with stencil layering.

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

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  I placed the Dots In and Out stencil over that and inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I laid the Square Line Up stencil over that and inked again with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.  It really added such extra interest to the graphic design.
• I removed both stencils and placed the panel onto my Misti to stamp the sentiment.  I clear embossed it to help make it pop against the background.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Finally, I added 3 black gems around the sentiment.
