Feel Better Soon

Good Morning

Tis the season where it seems that everyone is getting sick so I wanted to add a few cards to my Get Well stash.

I had fun playing with some older released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Triangle Fade and Cracked 

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

• I placed the Cracked stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Triangle Fade stencil right over the top and inked again with some Salty Ocean DOX ink.  It made such a pretty designs.
• While that dried, I took some white cardstock and cut the sentiment 4 times.  I glued those together to create my 'stacked' sentiment.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a piece of pale blue cardstock, then navy and then onto a white A2 sized card base.  I glued the sentiment over the middle and finished my card off by adding some blue gems around the sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:

Cracked

Triangle Fade

Meet the card for today. 

This is a new stamp layering set I just picked up from Altenew called Watercolor Wonders.  

This set is beautiful and was originally inspired by watercolor paintings by a Japanese artist named Akira Mineeda.  

At first, I must admit that I felt a bit intimidated when I saw all the stamps in the set but when I saw the guide sheet included on the back, I started to play around with it and was pleased with the result.

I began with my usual heavy weight cardstock and placed it inside my Misti.  Following the guide, I started with the largest stamp, inked it with Spun Sugar Distress Ink, gave it one spray of water and stamped.  

I repeated that process for the next 2 layers which were stamped with Picked Raspberry then Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Riley and Company that I have had in my stash but have never used with black Memento ink.
