Airy Swirls Stencil for A Colorful Life Designs Mid Month Motivation

 Hello everyone.  It's time for Mid Month Motivation for A Colorful Life Designs.  This month is a Beautiful Stencil called Airy Swirls and it's on sale for $4 for a limited time.  You can also use my 10% coupon code VonFan10.  So great right?


On white 110 pound paper, I chose to ink blend the Airy Swirls Stencil with Hero Arts Butter Bar ink  and Hero Arts Key Lime Fizz ink.  I then cut my background a slight smaller than A2 size and layered it on some brown paper 65 pound.  I then cut out some Eucalyptus leaves from Simon Says Stamp in white 3 times.


 I glued everything to a A2 card base and flicked some Hero Arts Root Beer ink with a paint brush and a tiny bit of water.  I also flicked some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors paints in Yellow Gold.  When my card was dry I adhered a sentiment from my stash with a foam strip.  I embellished my card with some gold card bling.  I hope you like my card.  I love how it came out.  I hope you grab this stencil.  Visit A Colorful Life Designs here

Kitty Notecard

 Hello everyone.  I have a simple Notecard that is perfect for cat lovers.  I used 2 New Stencils from A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release.  I love the pet theme this month don't you?


On white cardstock, I used the New Fishbones Stencil with Catherine pooler Mardi Gras ink.  I then used the New Kitty Heart Face Stencil with Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink. I did try to apply Catherine Pooler Be Mine ink on the nose and ears, but you can't really see it as the blue ink is pretty dark.  Next, I then cut my white cardstock to be 4 x 51/4.  


I glued my panel to a A2 side folding card base.  I then embellished with some pink card bling from A Colorful Life Designs.  I hope you like it.  You can batch these cards and give them away as a set.  I think that would be cute as a gift.  Visit A colorful Life Designs here Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

Pet Sympathy Cards Using Angel Kitty and Angel Puppy Stencil

 Hello everyone.  I have some cards to share today.  One card is using a New Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  The other card is not a new stencil but it was new to me and since they are similar I wanted you to see them both.  These are Pet Sympathy cards and they are difficult but are needed sometimes as pets are our fur children.  Please use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchases.


On my card I used the New Angel Kitty 3x6 Stencil.  On a piece of strip of white cardstock I ink blended the wings with Catherine Pooler Sugared Lavender ink and for the kitty I used Lost Shadow Distress ink.  I also used the Cloud Edger Stencil with Lost Shadow Distress ink.  I had some Silver Mirrored cardstock A2 size that I glued to a A2 card base.  I used a Taylored Expressions sentiment strip from my stash that I glued to my card.  I chose no embellishments.  I hope you like how it came out.  I like how easy it was using the stencil to make a quick card.



On this card I used a previously Released stencil called Angel Puppy.  For the wings of this angel Puppy I used Catherine Pooler Skylight ink and for the puppy I used Lost Shadow Distress ink on white cardstock.  I also used Lost Shadow Distress ink with the Cloud Edger Stencil.  I cut my background to be 4 x 51/4.  I glued it to a A2 card base.  I grabbed another Taylored Expressions sentiment strip from my stash and applied it with a foam strip.  I added some glitter glue to the wings and that finishes this card.  I hope you liked both and know that even though these cards are difficult you can make some cards in no time using these stencils.  Check out the New Release here
