Good Morning

Today's card features the new Honeycomb Mask and an older stencil called Indian Blanket both from A Colorful Life Designs. Pairing the 2 together worked so well.

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Waffle Flower stencil mat.  
• I positioned the Honeycomb Mask over my paper and randomly inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that mask in place, I placed the Indian Blanket over the Honeycomb and then inked it up with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.
• Next, I placed the stenciled card front into my Misti and stamped the flowers to one side and then the sentiment.
• I splattered just over the flowers using my black Posca pen.
• I glued the dried panel onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.

Here are the stencils I used:

Good Morning

Such a fun new release this month from A Colorful Life Designs.

Most of our new release this month is all about BABIES. 

I used this adorable Onesies stencil to create this simple card.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Mark Art Station.  I laid the Onesies stencil over that and got out some Distress Oxide inks.
• I decided to make all the onesies different colours so I began by masking one of them and inked it up.  I move the mask and kept inking with different colours of ink until the panel was done.
• The colours I used to ink were:  Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac.  
• After I was done stenciling the panel, I decided to add more colour to the background, so I took out a pencil with an eraser on the end and used that to add the dots in the same colours, around the onesies.
• I set that aside and die cut the banner from some white cardstock and stamped the sentiment in my Misti right over the center area of the banner.
• I was about to glue the stenciled card front to a piece of white cardstock but it looked so dull.  So instead, I took the white cardstock and the same colours I had used to ink with, and inked all along the edges of the white card.
• I glued the them all together, then onto an A2 card base.
• I popped the banner sentiment over the center of the card front and added some matching gems.

Welcome

Today, I am playing with this fun Spinning Lines stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

I decided to add some paper piercing to give it more interest, something I haven't done in a long time.

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

• I laid a piece of cardstock onto my Mark Art Station and placed the Spinning Lines stencil over that, positioning it just to one side of my card front panel.
• I inked it up with some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stencil, wiped it off and repositioned it, shifting it to the white areas left behind after the first inking.  When I had the stencil in place, I inked it up with some Carved Pumpkin DOX ink.
• I splattered with some water to lift some in and then used my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I die cut the sentiment with some white cardstock, then a piece of matching pink and glued them together, offsetting a bit.
• Using a small circle die, I cut out the center of the stencil, then I pierced around the outer edge of the circle to give it more interest.
• I added a piece of white cardstock behind the panel and pierced the inside of the small circle as well.
• I popped the finished panel onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• I glued the greeting on and added some orange gems around it.
