Good morning friends and happy Saturday yay! I hope you can manage to fit some crafting into your weekend plans. I'm here today to share some more inspiration using Uniko's newly released 'Ink & Flip: Christmas Star, Star stencil but this time I wanted to show that this stencil is definitely not just for Christmas.
It's my sister's birthday next week so I thought I would get ahead and make a card for her from my sons. I decided to make a tri-fold card as I've seen quite a few of them on blogs and social media recently. I went with a subtle grey, black and white colour combo and I think it turned out great. I hope you like it.
Here is my card:

And a closer look at the third panel:
An extra photo of them laying flat:
I began by cutting 3 white panels 4" x 5 1/4" and stencilled the Christmas star into the bottom left and top right corners using a light grey ink and a dark grey ink. I die cut each panel using an arch die and also cut a slightly larger arch from black card 3 times. I adhered each stencilled arch onto a black arch using liquid glue. To create the card base I cut a piece of white card 12" wide x 3 1/2" tall and scored it at 4" and 8" into a z shape. I stamped all the sentiments using black ink and then added each arch onto the card base using liquid glue. I also added another plain white arch on the backside of the card to make it look more finished. I embellished with a few tiny silver stars and added some silver crystals in the centres of the stencilled stars. A fairly simple card but I think it's quite dramatic and elegant.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
