Samantha was inspired by the New Year challenge to create a gorgeous inked and stenciled design!

Samantha created the background by ink blending in an ombré fashion. She kept it darker at the top and lighter towards the bottom. Then she splattered it with the inky color and white acrylic ink to mimic fireworks and excitement! Once it was all dry, she used some White Stencil Paste and the Snowflake Trio Stencil to add some wintery texture.

Samantha heat embossed part of the sentiment from Let’s Bokeh in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock, then popped it up with foam tape.

The Scripty Cheers was die cut out in 80lb white cardstock 5 times, and then one time in the Metallic Gold Cardstock. She layered them together with liquid glue and added some glitter for even more shine. Then she finished off the card with a sprinkling of gold star sequins!

Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant inspiration with us, Samantha!
