Let's Get Holly and Jolly

 

Welcome

Today's card was a fun one using a simple stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

Puzzle Pieces

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock and placed the Puzzle Pieces stencil over that and inked with some Dusty Concord Distress Oxide ink.
• I wiped the stencil off, repositioned it and inked again with some Villainous Potion DOX ink. I repeated that again using some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink this time.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• Next, I took another piece of white cardstock and embossed it with a Burlap Embossing Folder and then cut a circle from that.
• I glued the embossed piece over the stenciled background.  I stamped and fussy cut out the bear and coloured his scarf with my Copic markers.
• I glued the card front onto an A2 sized card base and used some foam tape to add the bear in the corner and the pre-printed sentiment over the top corner.
• The last step was to add 3 silver gems under the sentiment.

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.
