Products used:-

I started by using the die-namics to form my box card using grey cardstock and the Black and White Plaid 6 x 6 Paper Pad.  I also cut two grass panels with colours to suit how I'd be colouring the stamp images.  The back panel was stencil ink blended using the Mini Cloud Edge Stencil.

With the box formed using the Cityscape Die-namics I stamped the images from To The Rescue and coloured them with the following Copic markers:-

Blue - B24, B23, B21

Yellow - Y19, Y15, Y06

Red - R29, R08, R05

Images were die cut and added to the scene hoisted up on slender pieces of acetate and with that the card was complete.
