Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!

2025

Wishing you good health, happiness and many blessings.

I'm looking forward to a year filled with fun and lots more creativity.

Let's start the year off with a newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Five Rings

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

• I placed a piece of black cardstock onto my Make Art Station and rubbed the whole thing with an anti-static bag.
• I then placed the Five Rings stencil over the bottom corner and inked with some Unicorn White ink.  I moved the stencil to the open area at the top corner and inked again.
• I sprinkled the whole piece with white embossing powder and heat set.
• I added some white splatters with my Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• Using some silver textured cardstock, I die cut the sentiment.  I cut the sentiment again 2 more times with some white cardstock and glued them all together.
• I glued the card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then black and then onto an 4 1/4" square white card base.
• I added the sentiment with some foam tape and a shiny gem.

I used the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Rotating Rings

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

• I placed the Rotating Rings stencil over a piece of white cardstock on my Make Art Station.
• Starting at the top and moving my way down, I inked it up with some Fossilized Amber, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry and then some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks.
• While that dried, I stamped and die cut the sentiment.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of blue and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Lastly, I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the panel and finally, I added some bling around the sentiment.

Welcome

Today's card featured the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Rotating Rings

This stencil is a fun, unique one to work with and is a larger size for those that work on a bigger scale.

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

• I began by putting the Rotating Rings stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it with some Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stencil, wiped it off, then repositioned it and inked with some Peacock Feathers DOX ink.
• Next, I cut a circle from the stenciled card panel and glued it onto a purple die cut circle that was just a bit bigger.
• I die cut the sentiment from some purple paper and splattered the letters with my white Posca pen.
• I glued the card front onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to put the circle back into position over the front panel, then glued the sentiment letter over it.
