Sending the Best Wishes

Good Morning

It's been such a fun month creating with the new stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.

So I decided to make another card featuring the new for JUNE stencil called:

Rope Trellis

Here's what I did.

• I placed the Rope Trellis stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
• I shifted the stencil over and inked it up again with some Salty Ocean DOX ink to create the fun pattern.
• Next, I used a blue fine line marker and added the straight lines over the pattern.
• I die cut a white square using a square stitched die and glued it right over the middle of my card front.  
• I looked through my scraps and found this navy cardstock. I cut it into strips and glued it around the edges of the white square in the middle.
• While that dried, I die cut a white circle and stamped the sentiment onto it in my Misti.  I glued that onto another larger navy die cut circle.  
• I glued my finished card panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then navy and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I added the circle die cut sentiment over the middle and finished off my card by adding 3 navy gems under it. 

Here is the stencil I used:

Good Morning and Welcome

Meet my 10 minute card....so simple and fun to create.  

I was inspired by the Technique Lovers Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers called Faux Tearing. I haven't done this one in a long time.

This technique uses torn paper strips that give the look of layers without adding extra bulk to your card.  Simple to do and so many possibilities.

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

• I began by tearing a few strips of scrap paper and placed one of them onto my white card stock base.  By tearing a few different strips, you can vary the look of the background.
• I began at the bottom and inked with some Peacock Feathers Distress ink.  I placed another strip up higher and inked with some Salty Ocean DOX ink.  I repeated that process, moving up the card with some Cracked Pistachio ink.  I stayed with just the 3 colours to help keep the look simple.
• When I was done inking over the torn paper strips, I placed the inked panel into my Misti and stamped the trees along the bottom and clear heat embossed them.
• I stamped the sentiment and clear heat embossed that too.
• I glued the finished panel onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
