I took a piece of patterned paper from Spellbinders’ Just Sayin’ 6×6 Printed Paper and placed one of the dogs from the Big Dogs Stencil. I flipped the stencil to have the beagle looking to the right. Then, I stamped my sentiment, which is from Hero Arts’ Hello Friend Stamp Set. I used the Berry Blaze Kaleidacolor Ink from Imagine, which is how I got the gradation of color on the “friend.” I used the darkest purple on the pad for the sub sentiment. Since I had that done, I was now able to ink the beagle, using the lighter purple and my Waffle Flower Shader 1+ Brushes.
Around those two focal elements, I was able to ink the Mid Century Minimalist Stencil, using the brightest shade of pink in the Berry Blaze Pad. Then I inked my card base with Grape Crush Catherine Pooler Ink, simply because it’s hard to use the Kaleidacolor Inks that way.
This was a fun and simple card to make, and I am happy I got to use a piece of patterned paper on it! Please visit the A Colorful Life Designs website to see the thousands of available stencils.
