LDRS Creative | Alpha Stencils Shaped Card

Hey there! I’m playing with the Alpha Stencils and A to Z Sentiment Stamps from LDRS Creative to create an easy shaped card that’s full of sweet little details. I’ll show you how I built up the design with dual-toned ink blending, a stenciled background, and lots of tiny touches that make a big difference - like mini die-cut flowers and little butterflies flitting around the card. Ready? Let's go!

I LOVE that the Alpha Stencils are perfectly sized to fit on an A2 card front. They're great for mass producing A2 cards in a flash, but you can also cut the panels down with a trimmer or shape die. I stenciled the "A" with a couple of inks in the center of a panel and then cut it down with one of the Star Octagon Frame Dies. I cut a mat as well as a shaped card using the same set of dies. I added some additional ink blending over one of the Pattern Background Stencils on the mat to create some extra texture and layered these panels onto the shape card. The "always" sentiment from the A to Z Sentiments 5x7 Stamps is so versatile. This card can be used for anniversaries, weddings, or just to say "I'll always be there" to a friend. 

From there, I just wanted to add some simple elements to pull everything together. I added a stem and some flowers from the Petite Petals Dies and some butterflies from the aLined Geos 4x6 Stamps to finish everything. That's it! Thanks so much for joining me!
