Dinnerplate Dahlias

 

Welcome

I really had fun making today's card using a newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Dinnerplate Dahlias 

I paired it up with an older stencil called 

Wild Rings 

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

• I began by inking the background on a piece of white cardstock using the Wild Rings stencil and some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
• After inking the whole front of the paper, I removed that stencil and placed the Dinnerplate Dahlias stencil down and inked with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
• I added some white splatters and some dots using my white Posca pen.
• I let that dry while I die cut out the sentiment with another piece of white cardstock and when the panel was dry, I did cut the word shadow right from the center of my stenciled card front.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of white cardstock and then onto a piece of blue and then finally onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place over the card front panel.

Here are the stencils I used:

Good Morning

How about another rainbow inspired card.  Super easy to do using the Rainbow Scratch paper I picked up at the Dollar Store.  

So meet the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Ordered Lines

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

• As I mentioned above, I began with a piece of Rainbow Scratch paper and placed the Ordered Lines stencil under the paper and secured it well.
• Using the side of a popsicle stick, I rubbed over the entire paper to transfer the pattern.
• I took another piece of the scratch paper and placed the Broken Lines stencil under that and rubbed over it to transfer the pattern.  I used that piece to die cut the sentiment.
• I glued the stenciled card front panel onto a piece of black cardstock, then a piece of blue and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the sentiment across the front of my card.

Scalloped Harlequin

Welcome

I had fun playing with this newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called;

Scalloped Harlequin

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

• I placed the Scalloped Harlequin stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink along the middle and then some Picked Raspberry DOX ink along the edges.
• I cleaned the stencil off, shifted the position and then inked again with some Fossilized Amber DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and stamped the Grunge stamp over the whole panel with some more of the Ripe Persimmon DOX ink.
• I splattered the panel with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• While that dried, I inked another piece of white cardstock with the same colours as used above and stamped it too with the same Grunge stamp.  I used that to die cut the sentiment.
• I wanted a 'stacked' sentiment so I die cut the Hello 4 x's with some white cardstock and glued them all together, added the inked one to the very top.
• I glued the stenciled card front panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then pink and then onto a white 4 1/4" square card base.
• Finally, I glued the sentiment over the middle of the card base and added some gems to finish off my card.

Meet today's card.  It's a fun one using another one of the new releases from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Escalator

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

• I placed the Escalator stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked the middle area of the stencil with some Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink. I inked up the top and bottom part of the stencil with some Salvaged Patina DOX ink.
• I took the stenciled panel and dry embossed it using a Interlocking Circle EB folder.  
• Using the Salvaged Patina ink pad, I rubbed over the panel to reveal the circles and add to the interest of the designs.
• I die cut the sentiment and glued it onto a scrap that I found in my stash to use as the shadow.
• I glued my card front panel onto a piece of blue cardstock and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the sentiment over the center.

Welcome

Meet the new for April stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

So Many Bubbles and Broken Lines

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

• When I was at the Dollar Store, I picked up some Rainbow Scratch paper, so that was my starting point.
• I placed the So Many Bubbles stencil down and then placed the Rainbow paper over that and secured it well.
• Using the side of a popsicle stick, I rubbed over the whole piece until the pattern of the stencil was transferred onto the paper.
• I repeated that process with another piece of the paper, this time using the Broken Lines stencil. I  die cut the sentiment from that piece and glued it onto a piece of black cardstock.
• I glued my card front panel onto a piece of yellow cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop up the sentiment over the background.

Good Morning

This fun stencil is another one of the new releases from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Winding Paths

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

• I placed the Winding Paths stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked with some Dusty Concord and some Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink, alternating the colour.
• I set that aside and inked another piece of white cardstock with some Wilted Violet DOX ink using the same stencil.
• Next, I die cut the first panel I had inked using a diagonal die and set it aside
• I die cut the birthday greeting with some dark purple cardstock 5 times, then glued them all together.
• I glued one of the stenciled panels along the bottom onto a piece of purple cardstock and then I used some foam tape to pop the top one over that.  I glued those onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment just above the die cut area and finally, added some purple gems.

Welcome

Today, I'm playing with a newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Op Art Bench

This stencil is so unique and fun.  

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

• I placed the Op Art Bench stencil over a piece of white cardstock and secured it well.
• Starting at the top of my stencil, I inked with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink. Moving down the stencil, I inked next with some Ripe Persimmon and then finally some Picked Raspberry DOX along the bottom.
• I removed the stencil and splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I went into my scrap box where I found the inky piece to die cut the flowers.  
• As I looked, I also found another piece that I had inked using the A Lot of Angles, also from A Colorful Life Designs.  I die cut the sentiment from that piece. This sentiment did NOT come with a shadow, so I traced around the die onto black cardstock, fussy cut it out and glued those together.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of orange cardstock, then a piece of pink and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I added the flowers along the side and used some foam tape to pop up the sentiment.
