Yhis time I was inspired by a couple of topics ans wanted to see what it would look like if I would combine rectangles, monochrome and the use of stencils. Also I needed a birthday card that would not be overly sweet.
I selected orange as my color.
Then the stencil part: I spritzed Distress ink Spiced Marmalade through a geometric stencil. Then I took that same stencil and created another sheet of paper, now with orange acrylics. When the paint was dry I sponged the white space with mustard seed Distress ink.
I opted for squares which I cut from that paint stenciled paper and arranged my card. I layered two of the squares with die cuts and stamped the text.
