This Little Card of Mine: Masked Stencil cards using the new Distress Inks

Archives

I find myself needing a lot of cards to encourage friends lately (sadly). So I wanted to make a few to have on hand. I had the new Distress Ink colors (Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon) but hadn't used them yet. And of course I had to pull out my old friends, Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint! These cards were easy to create. First I die cut an oval or circle shape from masking paper that was big enough for the greeting I wanted to use. I adhered it to white cardstock and then put the stencil on top of that. I used a mini round applicator to apply ink over the stencil on to the cardstock and removed it. From there all I had to do was stamp the greeting! Once I got started I couldn't stop! These were so fun to make.
