Hello! Today I’m using some of the newest stencils and Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs. This card could be used for a new baby, or perhaps even a new pet! I got to use some of my Gel Press prints too, which always makes me happy.

For my background, I used a Gel Press print that I made with alcohol inks and the Flame Chevron stencil. You can see how I made it in THIS video. On top of the print, I inked a sentiment from the Monster Sayings stencil with Twilight VersaFine Clair Ink. I decided to add more interest to the background, so I grabbed the Tridots stencil and inked it up here and there with Rain Forest VersaFine Clair Ink.
Next, I used the mask of one of the monsters from the Monsters Stencil Set and the Gel Press print I shared in my unboxing video to outline and then cut out the monster. I added a face with Posca Pens. To ground the monster, I used a Stitched Hillside from Lawn Fawn out of yellow cardstock and inked it with the residual ink that was on my yellow blending brush.
I turned it into a shaker by wrapping the panel with a piece of acetate from one of my new stencil sets, and adhering 3 of the sides. Then, I dropped some of the new Card Bling down into it. I used Vanilla, Christmas Green, Light Turquoise, and Light Leaf Green. These colors perfectly matched the Gel Press print in the background. Then, I sealed the top of the acetate to the panel and the shaker was complete. I mounted it to a white card base that I had inked with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink.
I think this came out so cute! Using the print I used for the monster gave me easy, instant texture that really looks like it could be monster fur. And I love this color combo of Card Bling!
