Friendship

Welcome

Today's card was a fun one.  

I thought of all we can look forward to seeing Spring's arrival and this newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Wildflowers inspired me.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and got out my Gel Plate.
• I pressed my Mustard Seed Distress Oxide pad directly onto the middle of my Gel Plate.  Along the bottom I pressed some Carved Pumpkin DOX ink and along the top some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink. Using my brayer, I blending the colours together.  
• Next, I placed the Wildflowers stencil onto the plate and rubbed over it with my cardstock to take the print.
• When the panel was dry, I placed it into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and clear heat embossed it.
• I glued the finished piece onto a piece of white, then a piece of red cardstock, then onto an 5 x 5" card base.

Here is the stencil I used:

Welcome

Today's card features this adorable newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

  Layered Bunny Faces.  Perfect for Easter or I chose to make a baby card using it.

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

• I put a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Part #1 of the Layered Bunny Faces stencil over that.  I inked up the pink bunnies first, down the center of the cardstock panel using some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.  
• I cleaned off the stencil and then repositioned it to ink up the blue bunnies along the sides using some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed Stencil #1 and positioned the second stencil (the face details) over the bunny heads and inked them up with some black ink....so cute
• Next, I got out the Layered Rainbow Love stencil (January release) as I wanted to fill in some of the open areas.  Using just the hearts from that stencil and some more of the inks mentioned above, I inked up the hearts in the open areas between the bunnies.
• I removed the heart stencil and used a pencil eraser to add the dots for fun.
• I got out this fun die from Heffy Doodle and cut the outline of the words from the stenciled panel.  I also cut the sentiment with some white cardstock.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• I glued the sentiment onto the shadow piece and then pop dotted those back into place.

Great Friend

Good Morning.

Today's card is a simple one although it looks more complicated then it really is.

I'm using the new Trailing Vines stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I got out my Gel Plate, white cardstock, some Villainous Potion and some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink.
• This time, instead of rubbing the ink directly onto the Gel Plate, I rubbed ink onto the Trailing Vines stencil, then pressed that onto my plate.  I rubbed over that with some scrap paper, removed the stencil and rubbed my white cardstock over that.
•  I cleaned off my Gel Plate and repeated the above process using the same stencil and some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment, then splattered with my white Posca pen.
• I glued the panel onto some white cardstock, then onto a piece of purple and then finally, onto an A2 card base.
• I added 3 black gems to bring more attention to the sentiment.
