Let the Music Play

Hello and Good Morning

Today' card features another one of the newly released stencils for March from A Colorful Life Designs called;

MUSIC

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

• I found some fun cardstock papers in my stash that I had picked up at the Dollar Store awhile ago but hadn't used. I began by picking out the paper I wanted to use for the cover and die cut the little album cover first.  
• I placed the new MUSIC stencil over the cover and inked it up with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink. I splattered with my white Posca pen just over the sentiment and set aside to dry.
• Next, I die cut the record from a piece of black cardstock and glued the blue middle die cut to the center of it. (You can't see it in the photo, but the die actually puts the grooves in the record)
• I picked out another piece of the cardstock and glued it to a piece of white and then a piece of blue and the onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I glued the record album cover over the background and slipped the record into the sleeve.

Here is the stencil I used:

A Little Birdie Told Me

Welcome

Today's card was a fun one using one of the new stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called 

A Bunch of Birds

I have to say that I really miss seeing and hearing the birds in the winter as they are few and far between.

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

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock and I dry embossed it with a Masonry Wall folder.  It gave such nice texture to the panel.
• Next, I placed the embossed piece onto my Make Art Station and placed A Bunch of Birds stencil over that. 
• I decided to give each bird their own unique colours, so I masked off the first one, inked and then moved the mask to the next.  The colours I used were:  Peacock Feathers, Uncharted Mariner, Cracked Pistachio and some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink.
• After all the birds were stenciled, I added a black dot for the eyes and set aside to dry.
• I stamped the sentiment with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink and then clear heat embossed it. I cut it into a flag shape and then added a bit of light blue ink along the edges.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of navy cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment along the bottom.
