Today I have a fun birthday card using several stencils from A Colorful Life Designs. I've used three brand new stencils:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/monsters-stencil/"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Monsters</span></a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/long-happy-birthday-stencil/"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Long Happy Birthday</span></a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/tridot-stencil/"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">TriDot</span></a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I started by taping the TriDot stencil to a mango orange card, and I blended some orange ink over the top half and some red ink on the bottom half. I used the same orange and red inks to mimic the background ombre with the Monsters stencil onto some white cardstock. Once I was happy with my ombre blend, I moved the Monsters stencil so I could brush some red ink over the monster for the eyes and the mouth. After I cut out the monster with a circle die, I went back over the eyes and mouth with a black pen and a white gel pen to add some accents. I die cut a slightly larger circle from black cardstock and adhered it behind my monster circle. The Long Happy Birthday stencil was placed at the bottom of my card and I brushed some black ink over the stencil, and then I adhered my monster to the center of the card.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Isn't that cute??

Today I have a whimsical little fairy card to share with y'all. A Colorful Life Designs has a new Mid Month Motivation stencil which is this cute new <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/mushrooms-stencil/">Mushrooms</a></b> stencil. It will be on sale for only $4 until March 22, so be sure to grab it before it goes back to the regular price. This stencil also comes with three little masks that match the three different mushrooms. I used both the stencil and the matching masks to create a little forest floor of mushrooms on my card, and then I stamped the fairies (Lavinia) and the sentiment (Visible Image) with a dark brown ink. After I brushed some brown ink around the edges, I added some of the gorgeous </span><b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/crystal-metallic-calypso-card-bling/">Crystal Metallic Calypso Card Bling</a></b><span>. It's hard to describe this Calypso bling - kinda gold, kinda copper, kinda iridescent, very metallic, and very fun to look at!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Feel free to use this code, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>HollyFan10</b></span><span style="font-size: medium;">, to save 10% off (excluding Master Creator Bundles) your entire order at A Colorful Life Designs.

A Colorful Life Designs released some new stencils last week, and one of them is this new Groovy Flower Solid Mask stencil. It is a companion mask for the Groovy Flower stencil, and I've used both on this card today. I started by placing the the <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/groovy-flower-mask/">Groovy Flower stencil</a></b> onto a white card and then I brushed some yellow ink all over. I removed the stencil and then placed the <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/groovy-flower-solid-mask-stencil/">Groovy Flower Solid Mask</a></b> over the yellow flowers. I then brushed some yellowy-orange ink over the mask. You can see how the mask protects the yellow flowers so they maintain their original color while providing some openings for a fun and colorful background. I added some <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/satin-matte-black-card-bling/">Satin Black Matte Card Bling</a></b> to the centers of the flowers and a die cut sentiment (Concord and 9th).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">You can use this code, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>HollyFan10</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">, to save 10% off your entire order (excluding Master Creator Bundles) at A Colorful Life Designs.

Here's a bright and happy card to wake you up today! Isn't that fun?? I used the new Layered Whirligig stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and changed it up a bit to get this fun look. I placed the first <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/whirligig-stencil/">Layered Whirligig stencil</a></b> down onto some white cardstock and brushed a bright yellow over the stencil openings. Then I cleaned the ink off the stencil and rotated it slightly so that it overlapped some of the yellow areas. I brushed some aqua blue ink over the stencil and repeated the cleaning and rotating steps, making sure that the stencil overlapped both the blue and the yellow areas. Lastly, I brushed some bright pink ink over the stencil. There is a bit of a rainbow look where the colors overlapped and blended into oranges, greens, and purples.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I added the die cut sentiment (Concord and 9th) to the center of the whirligig and then I glued some <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/satin-matte-pink-card-bling/">Satin Matte Pink Card Bling</a></b> all over.

Today there is a new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs, and there are some wonderful birthday, spring, and Easter designs this month along with some cute little monsters. For my card today, I used the gorgeous new <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/layered-tulip-trio-stencil/">Layered Tulip Trio</a></b> stencil. I placed this stencil over a white card with the leaves at the bottom and I blended three different colors of green inks over the entire area. Then I moved the stencil so that the tulip petals were aligned on top of the leaves, and I blended some yellow, pink, and purple inks over the tulips. To finish this card off, I added a stamped and die cut sentiment at the top.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Be sure to use this code, </span><b><span style="font-size: large;">HollyFan10</span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">, to save 10% (excluding Master Creator Bundles) when you shop at <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/">A Colorful Life Designs</a></b>.

I placed the beautiful Tall Flowers stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over a piece of white cardstock and then added some pink and orange inks over the whole panel. Then I removed the stencil and sprayed the panel with some pale pink Glimmer Mist and set it aside to dry. Meanwhile, I stamped the sentiment with pink ink and die cut it with a matching die (Waffle Flower). Once my stenciled panel was completely dry, I adhered it to a white card base. Then I affixed the sentiment and glued some <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/black-glossy-card-bling/">Black Glossy Card Bling</a></b> to the centers of each of the flowers.

This gives the Layered Tulip Field stencil set a whole different look, and it adds to the versatility of these stencils. I added some <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/black-glossy-card-bling/">Black Glossy Card Bling</a></b> and a die cut sentiment (Concord and 9th) to finish off the card.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Please use this code, </span><b><span style="font-size: large;">HollyFan10</span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">, to save 10% off your order (excluding bundles) when you shop at <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/">A Colorful Life Designs</a></b>.

Remember the last two cards I posted with the purple alcohol ink backgrounds? This is the card that started it all. I covered some cardstock with regular silver aluminum foil and then dropped the two colors of alcohol ink all over the foil until it was colored. All that leftover ink that was on my glass mat from this project was used on those purple cards that I posted yesterday and last Thursday. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">So what did I do with my colored foil panel? After the ink was completely dry, I placed the gorgeous <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/tulip-frame-stencil/">Tulip Frame</a></b> stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over the colored foil and ran it through my machine with a tan embossing mat. With the stencil still in place, I applied some Versamark ink over the raised (embossed) areas. Next, I removed the stencil, covered the foil panel with white embossing powder, and then used a heat tool to melt the powder. This is so shiny and stunning in person. The sentiment from Concord and 9th was die cut from some white cardstock and the shadow was cut from some extra foil that was colored with the same alcohol inks. It fits perfectly in the label area of this stenciled panel.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">This <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/tulip-frame-stencil/">Tulip Frame</a></b> stencil is just beautiful, and it is on SALE for only $4 until February 22.

Today I'm sharing the second card that I created from the puddle of alcohol inks on my glass mat. The first card that I shared last Thursday was much darker as it absorbed most of the alcohol ink, and today's card is lighter because there wasn't as much ink left for this one to soak up. I didn't want to waste the gorgeous colors that were on my glass mat from a previous experiment, so I spritzed them with some rubbing alcohol and smooshed some white cardstock into the liquid until the paper was "colored." </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">After this panel was completely dry, I placed the Clover Trellis stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over the paper and taped it down. Then I brushed some purple ink over the whole thing, removed the stencil, and set it aside. I stamped the sentiment with the same purple ink and die cut it, and I also cut out a heart from some vellum. The sentiment was glued to the vellum heart and then I glued the heart to my purple panel. This panel was adhered to a white card base and then I added some pretty <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/hologram-silver-card-bling/">Hologram Silver Card Bling</a></b> around the sentiment.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Please feel free to use this code, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>HollyFan10</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">, to save 10% off your order (excluding bundles) when you shop at A Colorful Life Designs.

Today's card is the result of a fun experiment. I had been playing around with some alcohol inks and there was quite a bit of leftover ink on my glass mat. I didn't want to waste all that gorgeous color so I squirted some rubbing alcohol over the partially dry inks and smooshed some white cardstock into the inky mess. After my panel was saturated with color, I set it aside to dry. At this point, I still had some alcohol inks left on my glass mat, so I grabbed another sheet of white cardstock and smooshed it to pick up the remaining ink. I'll share that card with y'all on Monday.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">After my first panel was completely dry, I placed the new<b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/arum-lily-stencil/"> Arum Lily</a></b> stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over that and taped it down. Then I applied some white pigment ink over the whole stencil, removed the stencil, and covered the cardstock panel with some white pearl embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and melted it with a heat tool. While this was cooling off, I stamped and die cut the sentiment. The stenciled panel was trimmed down and adhered to a white card base and then I glued the sentiment to the side of the stenciled & embossed lily.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Please feel free to use this code, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>HollyFan10</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">, to save 10% off your order (excluding bundles) at <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/">A Colorful Life Designs</a></b>.

Then I adhered some fun turquoise flowers from my stash and added some rhinestones to the centers.

I wanted some white daisies this time, so I left the flowers alone and added some <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/opaque-iridescent-lemon-yellow-card-bling/">Opaque Iridescent Lemon Yellow Card Bling</a></b> to the centers.

Today I have a "buzzy" card to share with you. I combined two of the newest stencils from A Colorful Life Designs and this completely changes the look of both stencils.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I started by placing the <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/clover-trellis-stencil/">Clover Trellis</a></b> stencil down onto some white cardstock. I brushed some blue ink over the whole piece and then removed the stencil. Then I took the first stencil from the <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/layered-bees-stencil/">Layered Bees set</a></b> and arranged it so that just one of the bees would fit inside the space between the blue trellis "lines." I brushed some yellow ink over that first bee stencil, picked up the stencil and moved it to the next white space and repeated the process to fill in all the white areas. I repeated this process with the second stencil and brushed some black ink over the bee body to fill in the black stripes. For the third stencil (the wings), I placed it over my inked bee body and used my finger to apply some creamy mother-of-pearl paste. I repositioned the stencil over each of the bee bodies and added the mother-of-pearl wings and then set this aside to let it dry.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Meanwhile, I die cut the "friend" sentiment and stamped the "hello" with black ink onto white cardstock. I used my yellow brush to add some matching yellow ink to the "hello" strip. After the bee wings were completely dry, I glued this panel to a white card base and adhered the sentiments to the center. As a finishing touch, I added some yellow enamel dots to the centers of the blue trellis lines.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I love how this turned out, and it was a fun experiment to see if the bees would fit inside the white spaces.

Today I have a soft pastel tulip card to share with y'all. I love the new <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/layered-tulip-field-stencil/">Layered Tulip Stencil</a></b> set from A Colorful Life Designs, and the fun design of this stencil means that I can do all kinds of different color combos. I went with a soft peach on this card with a slightly darker peach for the little accent areas and the sentiment (Ink Blot Shop). To finish off this card, I added some <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/opalescent-cashmere-card-bling/">Opalescent Cashmere Card Bling</a></b> to the white spaces between the flowers. This Cashmere bling is sort of peachy, sort of pink, and sort of yellow.

It's really easy to place the different layers down and brush ink over them. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment (Waffle Flower) to the center of the tulip field, and I added some bright green <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/card-bling/">Card Bling</a></b> around the field. I love this <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/layered-tulip-field-stencil">Layered Tulip Field</a></b> set so much, I whipped out 4 cards right away and they are all so different.

Today I'm sharing a card I made for yesterday's <b><a href="https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/technique-lovers-challenge-44/tlc988%7E-embossed-stenciling-01%7E29%7E2024-646202/">TLC (Technique Lover's) challenge</a></b> over on SCS. My friend Karen came up with an awesome technique combining embossing folders and stencils, and it's so fun and easy.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">First, I ran a panel of white cardstock through my machine with an old embossing folder from Martha Stewart. Karen's instructions said to place your stencil over the embossed side, but I wanted to see how it looked on the other side (the debossed side). I'm a rebel! LOL I placed the Feather Fire stencil from A Colorful Life Designs down on the debossed panel and brushed some yellow and green inks over the whole piece. After I removed the stencil, I lightly sprayed it with some gold glitter spray.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The sentiment, from the Amazing set at A Colorful Life Designs, was stamped with a dark black ink and affixed with some foam tape.

It's a cold and gray day here this Saturday morning, so I need a colorful spring bouquet to brighten up my day. I placed the Webby Mask stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over a white card and very softly brushed some pale purple ink in the center. I gently brushed the color out from the center just a bit but not all the way to the edges of the card. This floral ephemera was added with foam tape to the center of my stenciled card. The sentiment, from Ink Blot Shop, was stamped with the pale purple ink and trimmed with scissors and affixed to the card with foam tape.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Please feel free to use this code, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>HollyFan10</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">, to save 10% off your order (excluding bundles) when you shop at <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/">A Colorful Life Designs</a></b>.

Then I placed the stencil with the hand underneath the red hearts and brushed some pale brown ink over that. The sentiment, from the <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/spread-love-clear-stamp-set/">Spread Love stamp set</a></b>, was stamped with black ink right onto the stenciled hearts.

This is a gorgeous stencil and I wanted to use it in a way that would show off the beautiful iridescence that you see on dragonfly wings. I brushed some pale blue and green inks over the stencil onto some white cardstock first. While the stencil was still taped down, I then spread some iridescent paste (Picket Fence Studios) over the entire piece. Then I removed the stencil and let the panel dry completely. Meanwhile, I brushed some blue ink onto a scrap piece of white cardstock and then covered it with the same iridescent paste and set it aside to dry. When this blue piece was completely dry, I die cut the sentiment, glued it to a vellum shadow, and affixed it to the wing background. This panel was then adhered to a white card base.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Please use this code, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>HollyFan10</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">, to help save some money when you shop at <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/">A Colorful Life Designs</a></b>.

Today I've got a distressed floral card to share with y'all. I pulled out some Pan Pastels and my gel press plate and this gorgeous Dramatic Blooms stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. I placed the <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/dramatic-blooms-stencil/">Dramatic Blooms stencil</a></b> onto my gel plate and then "colored" the flowers with the Pan Pastels. I removed the stencil and then covered the gel plate with some white paint and pulled a print. This print resulted in this gorgeous distressed, vintage floral image. I didn't want to cover it up so I just added a die cut sentiment from Concord & 9th and some <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/black-glossy/">Black Glossy Card Bling</a></b>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Please feel free to use this code, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>HollyFan10</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">, to save 10% when you shop at <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/">A Colorful Life Designs</a></b>.

Today I'm sharing a card that I created with the new <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/layered-mixed-flower-stencil/">Layered Mixed Flowers</a></b> stencils from A Colorful Life Designs. I love this set! It's so fun to mix up the colors and the different layering stencils makes it so easy to create this gorgeous floral background.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I used a pink ink for the "petal-y" flowers and a yellow ink for the solid flowers. I went back over the edges of the yellow flowers with my pink ink to give them a little bit of depth. The leaves were done with an olive ink and I used a rich chocolate ink for the flower centers. I cut the sentiment (Picket Fence Studios) from a deep brown cardstock and adhered it to my flower panel and then I glued the panel to a white card base.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Please feel free to use this code, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>HollyFan10</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">, to save 10% off your entire order at <b><a href="https://acolorfullifedesigns.com/">A Colorful Life Designs</a></b> (excluding bundles).
