Thinking About You

Good Morning.

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

Curvy Path

By shifting and changing the direction of a simple stencil, you are able to create so many designs.

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and placed the Curvy Path on top of that.  I inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• I took the stencil off, wiped it clean, then repositioned it and inked with some Villainous Potion DOX ink.  The overlapping pattern made for a nice background.
• Next, I stamped in some of the open areas using the eraser on the end of a pencil with the same colours as mentioned above.
• While that dried, I die cut out the sentiment with some white cardstock, then inked it up with the same colours that I had used for the stenciling.
• I die cut the sentiment shadow right from the middle of the panel and then glued the inked sentiment onto it.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of light blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the sentiment back into place in the middle of the card front.
• Using my white Posca pen, I added a few dots and then I put some silver gems around the sentiment.

Welcome

Today's card is featuring the new Arches release from A Colorful Life Designs.

Instead of using the whole stencil to create a background design, I used it create a grid pattern.

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

• I cut a piece of cardstock that was 3 3/4" square.  I measured to find my center point and lightly divided the card base into 4 sections and masked one off.
• I positioned the Arches stencil over the masked area and inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.  
• I moved the masks to the next section, laid down the stencil and repeated that process again, filling up each of the 4 sections.
• I removed the stencil and all the masks and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the flowers and the sentiment.
• I glued it onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto an 4 1/4" square card base.
• I added 3 black gems to bring a bit more attention to the sentiment.
