Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set

Festive Fun Stencil

I took an A2 panel of white cardstock and I used Blush and Fresh Mint inks by The Stamp Market to stencil the design and to ink blend the bottom of the panel which I then die cut using the Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set.  I die cut the smaller tag from Signature Tags and ink blended using the same inks but no stencilling on it, instead I spattered it with white acrylic paint loosened with a drop or two of water. 

I stamped the images from Hog Happy Day and coloured them with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Pigs - R22, R21, R20, R00, R000, W3, W1, Wo

Fairy Wings - BG32, BG11

White - C3, C1, C0

Yellow - Y21, Y00

The images were die cut using the coordinating dies and applied to the background panel with foam tape.  I did minimal highlighting with a white gel pen and grounded the lower images in the scene with some sprigs of grass and shadows.

I stamped and die cut the sentiments and used the coordinating dies to die cut them and then used the dies 3 more times to die cut white cardstock which I glued in stacks with the sentiment on top and then to the card and tag.

To complete the card and tag I adhered 3 different sizes of sparkling clear sequins then backed the feature panel with white craft foam and adhered it to a panel of Blush cardstock by The Stamp Market that was slightly larger and then adhered this to a white A6 card base which is slightly bigger again.

I found some mint ribbon in my stash and threaded that through the opening on the tag and with that this card and gift tag duo was complete.

Thanks for stopping by today, I'll be back before you know it with something new.
