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:

Meet today's card.

A very simple, one layer card I created using a stencil, my Distress Oxide inks and a couple of stamps.

I decided to create a one layer card as I haven't done one for so long....I'm also playing along with the DTGD Challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers.

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

• I cut my card base- A2 from some heavy white cardstock so my finished card was 5 1/2 x 4 1/4".  
• I wanted a nice white border around my image, so I placed the Marvelous Masks Deckle Rectangle over my paper, centering it.  I love using these masks, so simple to use and no more torn paper on the edges.  Over that I laid the Corner Rays stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and secured them on my Make Art Station with magnets.   
• Using my blender brushes, I blended on some Distress Oxide inks. (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin)  When I was happy with the inking, I removed both masks and set them aside.
• I placed the card into my Misti and stamped the Rock Silhouette to one side, the the Something Incredible sentiment on the other side.
• That's it, done in no time at all
