Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Card Face: 5.25 x 4
Card Face:
- I placed the card face down on my Grip Mat and positioned the stencil.
I added soft yellow ink across all open areas. - After removing the stencil I placed the card face into my stamp positioner and added the crib, mobile and the shelf with teddy and blocks using Versafine Onyx.
- I ran the edges of the card face over the versafine ink pad.
Other:
- I used a scrap of cardstock to stamp the sentiment with Versafine Onyx, and cut it out with a die.
Assembly
- I glued the card face onto the card base, centering on all sides.
- I glued the sentiment in place at the top of the mobile, created the illusion that the mobile was hanging from the sentiment.
Final Thoughts:
I love the contrast between the soft yellow and the dramatic black: they work very well for this design.
Looking at the card now, I wish I had added a bit of shadow under the crib to ground it: I didn’t think of it at the time, but it would have been a good touch.
