This sweet trio of furry friends each hold a sign and together with all the wonderful mix and match words included in the set you can spell out all number of messages for your project.
My card started with a panel of A2 cardstock which I stamped using the Cozy Plaid Background Stamp ......instant background!!! I trimmed the panel by 1/8th of an inch. Over this I layered a grassy panel that was die cut using the Grassy Knoll Die which I ink blended with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink and used one of the little tuft of grass stamps from Deer Friend to create a little grassy interest.
On Strathmore Bristol Smooth watercolour cardstock I stamped the three little characters and their balloons using Ranger Archival Ink in black. I delicately watercolour painted everything using my Kuretake Zigs and highlighted some points with a Uniball Signo White gel pen. I chose my words from the selection and stamped them. Everything was applied to the scene using Scotch Foam tape with a single layer behind everything except for the little bear who is front and centre who is on a double layer ..... because I adore him and his sweet sincere face!
I adhered the now finished panel to an A2 white cardstock base with a layer of white craft foam in between to lift it up and cards survive the mail with this layer of 'squish'. The final touch was the application of a scattering of crystal clear sequins.
Thank you for stopping by the blog today, it has been my pleasure to share this card making tutorial with you. Happy crafting and see you next time!
