Happy Hooray!

Happy September!!

There is a crispness in the air and the kids are going back to school.  

A new month also means a new lineup of stencils from A Colorful Life Designs, some great Fall inspired designs.

Today's card features one of the new release called 

Quarter Moons

I thought I'd use some Fall colours so here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed the Quarter Moons stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• I wanted to add interest to the design, so I left the stencil in place and put the Bauhaus Circle Mask stencil (last month's release) right over it and inked again with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and clear heat embossed it.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto white, then yellow and finally onto an A2 sized card base.
• Lastly, I added 3 black gems around the sentiment to finish off my card.

Here are the stencils I used:

Quarter Moons

Hello and Welcome

Today's card features a new for June stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Wild Rings

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station.  I placed the Wild Rings stencil over the cardstock and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.  
• Leaving the stencil in place, I used a small inking brush to ink just the insides of the circles with some Salty Ocean DOX ink to add more interest.
• Next, I stamped the Hooray with some more Salty Ocean DOX and die cut it out.
• I found some cardstock that was the same colour as the Salty Ocean and used that to die cut the image.  I glued that along the bottom of the stenciled panel.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the sentiment across the top.

Today I've got a fun card that features the new for April stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Puzzle Pieces

It sure is a good one to use.

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

• I put the Puzzle Pieces stencil over my white cardstock and then inked it up with some Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil off, cleaned it and repositioned it to the open white areas, then inked again but this time with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
• Next, I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I die cut the HOORAY sentiment 4x's from some white cardstock, then inked one up with the same colours as the background.  I die cut the sentiment shadow with a piece of vellum and glued them all together.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then a piece of purple and finally, onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment across the front to finish off my card using some foam tape.
