Birthday Card | Concord & 9th - Stuck On You | A Place to Start Challenge "Stencil Me In"


Hi!

Today's post features great products from Concord & 9th, Stuck On You Stamp/Die Set. I combined my design team entry for A Place to Start's June "Stencil Me In" Challenge with the gorgeous color palette from this week's Color Throwdown #545 - Raspberry, Lavender, Green & Kraft - #CTD545. 


Using my stencil, I blended Distress Oxide Inks - Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers & Cracked Pistachio - onto a piece of 110# Neenah Solar White. This panel was spritzed generously with water and spattered with pearlized watercolors in similar colors. Once the panel was dry, it was die cut with a stitched rectangle die. I stamped, watercolored and die cut the main images and finished them off with a generous application of my Tonic Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen. The images were then assembled and glued together to the front of the stenciled die cut.

Three rectangular frames were die cut from heavy-weight black card stock and stacked/glued together. This frame was adhered to the front of an A-2 top-folding card base. The stenciled panel was backed with craft foam and glued to the center of the card front. I really liked the simple graphic feel on this card and the bold sketchy image. 

This card is entered into the following challenges:
