Bauhaus Hey Friend

Good morning!  I love the new Bauhaus stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  The color possibilities are endless and you can't go wrong with any of them.  This time I brushed some green, yellow, and dark orange inks over the stencil right onto a white card (fall colors, right??).  I kept this card simple with just a big bold sentiment from Concord & 9th.

Cat in Window

Good morning!  There is a new Mid Month Inspiration stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Windy Day and it is on sale for only $4 until August 22, so grab this along with the other stencils on your wish list before the sale price is gone.

This time, I created a late fall/early winter card with a pale blue background and I brushed some soft blue ink over the Windy Day stencil.  I trimmed this panel down and adhered a die cut window over that and added a die cut black kitty with some foam tape.  He's inside looking out the window at a blustery cold wintery-ish day.  After I scored some straight lines on a white panel, I adhered it to a black card and then adhered the window scene to the middle of the card.  Finally, I adhered the sentiment from Pink & Main above the window.

Pumpkin Cart

Good morning!  There is a new Mid Month Inspiration stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called  Windy Day stencil and it is on sale for only $4 until August 22, so grab this along with the other stencils on your wish list before the sale price is gone.

I love making fall cards with pumpkins, and this card gives me all the feels!  I brushed some kraft ink over the Windy Day stencil onto some white cardstock, changing the direction of the stenciled breeze each time.  I added some die cut grass, the die cut wheelbarrow, and some pumpkins to this autumnal scene.  After I stamped the sentiment from Pink & Main, I distressed the edges of the white panel before I glued it to an orange card.

Autumn Greetings

Good morning!  Today is the 15th which means there is a new Mid Month Inspiration stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  This new Windy Day stencil is on sale for only $4 until August 22, so grab this along with the other stencils on your wish list before the sale price is gone.

I had so much fun creating this autumn card.  I started by brushing some orange and yellow inks onto a white panel, and then I brushed the Windy Day stencil with a kraft ink.  It kinda picked up some of the orange so it has a brownish/orange hue which is perfect for this fall scene.  I added a die cut tree frame and a ton of die cut leaves (Memory Box) and the sentiment from Pink & Main.

Grungy Bauhaus Circle Rose

Good morning!  The new stencil release at A Colorful Life Designs is full of great new geometrical designs, and I fell in love with this Bauhaus Circle Mask stencil.  I wanted to see if I could "grunge" it up a little bit, so I placed this stencil over some black cardstock and spread some Rose Gold paste over it.  I did not try to spread the paste evenly; I just plopped some down and did a quick smear, hoping for some jagged edges and incomplete areas.  After this paste dried, I die cut the black cardstock with a deckle die and adhered it to a white card.  Lastly, I added the rose ephemera (Tim Holtz) and the sentiment (Hero Arts).

For You Ombre Bauhaus Circles

Good morning!  A Colorful Life Designs has a new stencil release and these new designs are soooooo cool.  I fell in love with this new Bauhaus Circle Mask, and I couldn't wait to play with it.  I put this stencil on a white card and brushed a pale pink, medium pink, and a purple-y pink ink over the stencil for a rich ombre look.  I added the die cut sentiment (Concord and 9th) and some Crystal Metallic Rose Gold Card Bling.  It's such a great way to make a quick and easy card.

Bauhaus Pinwheels Hugs

Good morning!  Have you seen the new stencils at A Colorful Life Designs?  There's a lot of fabulous new geometrical designs to play with.  I had a little fun with the new Bauhaus and Bauhaus Pinwheels stencils.  I started by placing the Bauhaus stencil over a green card and brushing green ink over the whole card.  Then I pulled out the Bauhaus Pinwheels stencil, masked off one of the "pinwheels" and brushed some blue ink onto some white cardstock.  I removed the stencil, cleaned the blue ink off, and placed it over the inked pinwheel, moving it slightly to the right.  I brushed a lighter blue ink over that, and then repeated the process of cleaning the stencil and replacing it slightly over to the right of the last inking.  I brushed a medium green ink on for the third pinwheel, and then a lighter green ink for the fourth pinwheel.  This gives you the illusion of a moving pinwheel, doesn't it?

To finish the card, I adhered a blue square to the top third of the stenciled green card and then adhered the pinwheel panel.  The die cut sentiment (Altenew) was adhered below the pinwheel and I added some Crystal Opaque Groovy Green Card Bling.  This was such a fun card to create!

Yellow Thank You

Good morning!  I'm back with another bold geometrical card featuring one of the new August stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.  I used the Mid Century Circles and Squares stencil with some yellow ink over a yellow card, and I faded the color out towards the edges.  I added a die cut sentiment and flower (Altenew) and that's it for a quick and easy thank you card.

Hey Bauhaus Friend

Good morning!  Today there is a new stencil release at A Colorful Life Designs, and this month is all about bold geometrical stencils.  I'm starting off with this fabulous new Bauhaus stencil.  I randomly inked up a white panel with yellow, orange, and pink inks and then I placed the Bauhaus stencil over this panel.  After I brushed black ink over the stencil, I adhered the panel to a black card and added the sentiment (Concord and 9th).
