Let’s Get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Black Border Layer: 5 3/8 x 4 ⅛
Focal Image: 3 1/8 x 1 ⅞
Border for Focal Image: 3.25 x 2
Card Face: 5.25 x 4
Card Face:
- I laid the card face down onto my Grip Mat and positioned the stencil.
- I applied yellow ink to all exposed areas, using more pressure in the center and allowing the ink to fade towards the edges.
Other:
- I had just stamped and coloured this image a couple of days prior, so I grabbed that to use on this card.
- I stamped the sentiment on a piece of scrap cardstock and die cut it to create the finished shape.
Assembly
- I glued the black border layer to the card base.
- I glued the smaller black border layer to the focal image, and then glued that newly layered piece onto the card face.
- I put a piece of dimensional foam onto the back of the sentiment and positioned it on an angle across the focal image.
Final Thoughts:
I love this crusty, cantankerous old gal … you can see that she has opinions on anything and everything, and is ready to share them. I was amused by pairing this sentiment with this image: it’s like she is saying, “this is me, this is my style. Deal with it!” LOL.
