Fly High and Dream Big

I'm honored to be guest designing with A Colorful Life Designs for the month of February.  I seriously had a blast playing with inks, pastes, and paints with their stencils.  They have a massive catalog of stencils and I must confess that my wishlist on their site is rather massive.  :)  If you missed my first card, you can find it here:  Year of the Fire Horse.

(Affiliate links are used throughout at no additional cost to you.  Any small commission I make goes toward my craft fund so I can continue to create and share with all of you.  xx).

I lightly inked the stencil onto a piece of cardstock from my stash (that has embossed music notes on it) then dabbed on white acrylic paint to the two birds seen in the center.  I love that the embossed detail on the cardstock peek through the acrylic.

I wanted to keep the card simple, so I cut down the inked panel, nested into a white deckled edge piece, and nestled onto the top of an A2 card.  I added washi tape strips to the upper left to balance the sentiment placement in the opposite corner and finished the card with a trio of gems.  I love its simplicity and hope you do as well.

Supplies used:

A Bunch of Birds Stencil

Spread Your Wings Sentiments STP-252

Deckled Edge Script Etched Dies S5-710

Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink

White Acrylic Paint
