How'd I do it?
I started off by die-cutting the year into a piece of cardstock.
I then positioned it over my card panel and secured it with a bit of washi tape.
I then positioned it over my card panel and secured it with a bit of washi tape.
Next I colored the bottom portion with a bit of ink.
Then started dotting up upper portion with several shades of blue using a pencil eraser.
And I kept adding dots until the upper two-thirds looked filled in.
After it was done I removed the die-cut stencil,
stamped "happy new year"
and mounted it on a blue card.
Such a fun card and easily replicated in a whole host of colors.
You could use this technique for all sorts of occasions.
