Blue Birthday Buds


Good morning!  I recently purchased a Lisa Horton iridescent ink pad called Peacock Tails and I just had to try it out.  So I grabbed a sponge dauber and the new Spring Buds stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and sponged the ink over the stencil onto some white cardstock.  This is a gorgeous brilliant blue, and when you move this card in the light, it turns shimmery purple.  It's so cool!  

While I had the ink out, I sponged it over a large panel of white cardstock and let it dry.  Then I die cut the sentiment shadow from this inked panel and I die cut the sentiment (Simon Says Stamp) from white cardstock.  I glued the sentiment to the shadow piece and then adhered this to the stenciled panel with some foam tape.  Then I glued the panel to a white card base.  It will be fun to mail this card to someone and surprise them with the two-toned color on this.

Please feel free to use this code, HollyFan10, to save 10% off any of the stencils, stamps, and Card Bling at A Colorful Life Designs.  This new Spring Buds stencil is going to see a lot of use - it's perfect for a quick birthday card and almost any other kind of card you might need.  Have fun shopping!
