Bold Birthday

Good Morning

Here's another card I made using some of the patterned paper I have in my stash.

I used the Blowout stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I began by looking through my stash of patterned papers until I found this fun striped one.
• I cut a piece for my card front, set it onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Blowout stencil over that.
• I inked up the stencil with some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink, then splattered with my white Posca pen.  The red worked very well with the stripes.
• While that dried, I stamped out the sentiment with some more DOX ink and then die cut it out.
• I glued the finished panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto a whiter A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment up and put 3 red gems around it.

Here is the stencil I used:

Welcome

I made today's card as an experiment to see how stenciling would look over some patterned paper that I have so much of and never use.

This new stencil called Aztec Pattern from A Colorful Life Designs was calling for me to try it out.

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

• I looked through my stash of patterned paper and picked out this one that had some yellow and green dots on it.  
• I cut a piece of the patterned paper, placed it onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Aztec Pattern stencil over it, then I inked it up with some Rustic Wildness Distress Oxide ink.  The designs blended together so well.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• When dry, I die cut the sentiment from some white cardstock and then the sentiment shadow from the center of the inked panel.  I glued those 2 together.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of yellow cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place in the center of the card front.
• I added 3 silver gems around the sentiment.
