Squares Floral Thanks

Good morning!  Have you seen the new stencils at A Colorful Life Designs?  They are all brand new patterns and they are so much fun!  You really can do anything with these patterned stencils.  For my card today, I reversed the usual order of things that I do when I stencil a card.

I started by brushing some inks across a panel of white cardstock - blue, purple, and pink.  After those dried (about 5 minutes), I placed the new I Love Squares stencil over the panel and brushed black ink over the entire stencil.  I let the black ink dry while I stamped the sentiment (Altenew) and die cut the flower (Memory Box).  When the stenciled panel was completely dry, I adhered the flower first and then I affixed the sentiment with foam tape.  Then I adhered this panel to a white card base.

Angles Sunset Wildflowers

Good morning!  The new stencil release at A Colorful Life Designs is full of great new patterns, and I really love this one called A Lot of Angles.  It's so perfectly geometrical!

I did a fun inky rainbow on my card with the A Lot of Angles stencil.  I placed the stencil over a white card and brushed the colors across the card with dark teal, light green, yellow, orange, pink, and purple inks.  Then I placed this stenciled card into my MISTI and stamped the wildflowers (Altenew) with black ink and set it aside to dry.  Meanwhile, I stamped the sentiment (Altenew) and die cut it, and then I glued the sentiment to the card.

Harlequin Mother's Day

Good morning!  There is a new stencil release at A Colorful Life Designs today, and this month is full of awesome new patterns.  One is this new Scalloped Harlequin stencil that I've used on my card today.  

I began by placing the Scalloped Harlequin stencil over some cream cardstock and I brushed some pink ink over that.  After I removed the stencil, I stamped the panel with an old script background and brushed the edges with a pale brown ink.  I wanted a little extra "texture" so I flicked some of the brown ink all over the panel. Then I added the ribbon and a glittery Prima flower and the sentiment (Taylored Expressions) before I adhered the panel to a brown card base.
