You Color Me Happy

As my blog name states, I saw two cards with this design and had to try it. It is not difficult, believe it or not. Sue is our hostess for our Just Us Girls #720 Anything Goes With a Stencil, and I have stenciled a wall with some painting going on.








Products I used: 

Spellbinders: Artful Tulip die set, Paint Your World Sentiments Clear stamp set

My Favorite Things: Brick wall stencil

Concord and 9th: Mini ink pad

Patterned cardstock

Distress ink

Holographic silver cardstock


Here is a link to the tutorial for this card by Laura Dovalo. I watched it a few times and stopped it several times while making my card. I first stenciled the white panel for my card front. Then I followed her tutorial, but didn't use the string mechanism. Pulling the top brush handle down does the same motion. I can't stop "painting" with the brushes!! Next time I will use a dark front panel so the slits for the paint swipes aren't so obvious.

We hope you will join us this week with a stenciled card. The Design Team has a variety of great ideas for you!
