Hey – Happiest Day

Hi again!  One more card for you today.  In my favorite clean and simple style.

So, over at Inkspirational (#322), they have this really cool Mood Board.  My take-aways were the colors and the suggested Shapes along with an Ombre effect.

To complete my idea, I chose to use Stencils for Just Us Girls (#741) and the CAS Colours & Sketches (#543) Layout.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic Black cardstock.
• Focal Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock.
  • I created a Block Stencil using the (1” x 1¾”) Stitched Rectangle die from the Nested Essentials Dies set and a (4” x 5¼”) piece of Copy Paper.
  • With the Block Stencil in place, I used three other Stencils that I have in my collection from company called Deco Time.  I picked these up when I was on a European holiday some years back.
  • Top Block:
    • Using Blending Brushes and the Diamond Pattern Stencil, I added Peach Pie ink and Daffodil Delight ink.
  • Middle Block:
    • Daffodil Delight ink and Granny Apple Green inks were applied with Blending Brushes using a Chevron Zig Zag Stencil.
  • Bottom Block:
    • Similarly, Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana inks were added using a Circular Cog Stencil.
    • The sentiment, hey, from the Happiest Day stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • With the Block Stencil back in place, the blocks were traced / outlined using my Fine-Tipped Liquid Gel Pen and squiggles were also added for fun.

That was it!  A fun and colorful hello (hey) card.

Thanks for spending some more of your time with me today.  Cheers,  Jolanda!
