Good morning!  Have you seen the gorgeous new holiday stencils over at A Colorful Life Designs?  I love the new Starry Heart Candy Canes stencil, and I couldn't resist adding a mug of hot cocoa with a candy cane in it on this card.  

You might be wondering where the stars are.  I masked those off so when I brushed red ink over this stencil, only the candy canes were inked up.  It's a quick and easy way to change up this stencil for a different look.  I also masked around one of the candy cane hearts and placed it right over the blue cup.  I spread some glitter paste over this one and let it dry.  After I assembled this mug (Pretty Pink Posh), I adhered it to the card with some vellum behind it, and the sentiment (Pinkfresh Studio) was adhered below the glittery heart on the cup.

Good morning!  There is a new Mid Month Inspiration stencil called Rose Swirl over at A Colorful Life Designs, and it is on sale for only $4 until November 22.  This is a gorgeous stencil with elegant swirls and delicate roses that you can use for any kind of card or project.  I brushed some soft purple ink over this Rose Swirl stencil onto some lilac cardstock, going heavier over the roses on each panel.  Then I stamped the sentiment (Pinkfresh Studio) with a darker purple ink and I added some Rainbow Pearl Twilight Card Bling to both cards.

Good morning!  There's a brand new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs, and it's all about Christmas this month.  There are some fun new designs, from candy cane hearts to branches to deer and retro images.  The new Retro Santa stencil is such a fun image, and I brushed some red ink over the Santa onto some white cardstock.  After I trimmed this down, I cut a similar panel from black cardstock and arranged them onto a red card base.  Then I added a die cut sentiment (Concord & 9th) and some Satin Matte Gold Card Bling.

Good morning!  There's a brand new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs and it's all about Christmas this month.  There are some fun new designs, from candy cane hearts to branches to deer and retro images.  I stenciled two colors of green ink over the new Close Up Branches stencil, turning the stencil for each color.  I love that variation in the foliage.  Then I added the die cut Christmas lights (Pretty Pink Posh) and the sentiment (Hero Arts) and adhered this panel to a white card base.
