Hello and welcome! I have a card to share that I made for my SIL's upcoming birthday. He's an avid outdoorsman, so I think he'll like the stenciled scene on the card. I'm sharing it with three challenges.
The stencil I used is 5.5" square so I was able to get two cards from this, although I only photographed one. The other one will go to my great nephew who has a birthday next month.
I wanted the image to be a black silhouette, so I used some black watercolor paper as I thought it might stand up better to all the ink being applied. I started with a mossy green at the bottom, then progressed to brown for the hills. The sky was yellow right along the horizon, then orange-red, then purple to dark blue. The inks were all Distress Oxide (listed below). Once the inks dried (and that took a while!), the panel was trimmed down and matted on a panel of moss green cardstock.
Finding the right size of sentiment probably took longer than anything lol! I ended up using one from an Anita Jeram/Colorado Craft Company stamp set, stamping it in black pigment ink on white cardstock, then trimming down to size. The main image was adhered to a black card base that ended up measuring 3.5" x 6.5" and popped up the sentiment on thin foam tape. A really easy card that I think the guys will like.
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it! Take care and enjoy your upcoming weekend...only one week until Thankgiving!!?!!
