Joyful Music

 

Good Morning

This month at A Colorful Life Designs, some of the stencil designs revolve around music, the universal language.

So meet the new for March stencil called:

MUSIC

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

• I used an older stencil called Dot Circle to start my background and I inked that with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed that stencil and placed the notes from the Music stencil across my card base and inked it with some Salty Ocean DOX ink. 
• I placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the musician with some black ink.
• I took the Music stencil again and inked the 'music' word along the bottom with some Salty Ocean and some Black Soot DOX ink. (by using the black ink along the bottom of the word helped ground the sentiment)
• I used some more of the Salvaged Patina DOX to add a shadow around the outside edge of my card front.
• Using my black Posca pen, I splattered just around the bottom edge of the image.
• I glued my card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then a piece of navy and then onto a white A2 sized card base.

Here are the stencils I used:

Good Morning

Today's card is more on the masculine side featuring the newly released for May stencil from 

A Colorful Life Designs called:

Right Angles

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and put the Right Angles stencil over that. I inked with some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil off and then repositioned it and then inked again creating this fun pattern.
• I splattered with my black Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• While that dried, I die cut the guitar and the Burlap Texture die with some red cardstock.
• I stamped the sentiment with some black and then glued it onto a piece of red cardstock.
• Next, I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of red cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the Burlap die cut onto the panel, then added the guitar over that.  
• Lastly, I used some foam tape to add the sentiment across the bottom.
