Spellbinders - Scenic Drive Birthday

Happy Saturday,

Today I have a stenciled card to share.  It uses a 6 layer stencil from Spellbinders called Scenic Drive, which creates the sky, clouds, sun, trees and ground.  

I used PTI Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores inks for the sky, Terracotta Tile, Melon Berry and Bright Buttercup for the sun, Ripe Avocado and New Leaf for the trees and Fine Linen, Kraft and Dark Chocolate for the ground.  The inks were applied using the multi-step stencil and blending brushes to create this great retro-graphic scene.  For the puffy clouds are used Light Fluffy Paste for some texture.

I cut the stenciled image and Black mat out using DieNamics Circle STAX Set 1.  I made this card a square card 5.25" square.  I continued part of the sky pattern and ground from the image with Aqua Mist and Kraft cardstock.

The script Happy die cut is from Memory Box and the birthday stamp is from Simon Says Stamp "Happy".  I used a lot of random dies from my stash.  I attended an online cardmaking summit focused on using what you have and it seems to have reminded me I have lots of great things I just need to use them.

Thanks for stopping by...

Blessings,

Unity - Someone Left the Gate Open

 

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a birthday card I made for my sister-in-law, who I found out over Christmas loves cows.  I saw this image from Unity - Someone Left the Gate Open and had to get it.  I think is a really fun image and was on sale.

I stamped the cow image on the PTI Vintage Cream base card and also on white cardstock.  The image stamped on white cardstock was colored with Copic markers.  I extended the neck of the cow image slightly, maybe 1/4".  

  I fussy cut the colored image cutting off the whiskers and adhered it to the base card which was stamped also to show the whiskers.  Then, added some weathered barnwood patterned paper to create a wall for the cow to look over, with sentiment sign and black cardstock trim.  

I saw a card sample on Unity's website with the cow image looking out the barn door which was the inspiration for this card.

Copic colors:

0, E50, E51, W0, W1, W2, W3, N7, YR01

This card just makes me smile.
