Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Card Face: 5.5 x 4.25 (before tearing)
Card Face:
- I laid my card face down onto the Grip Mat and positioned the stencil.
- I used lime green ink on one end and purple on the other. I allowed the green ink to cover about ⅔ of the surface, and took care when it met the purple not to blend them too much – there was a big possibility of creating “mud”.
- I put the card face into my stamp positioner and stamped the bee with Versafine Clair.
- I used an embossing folder to create texture on the card face.
- I tore off the right-hand side to create texture and visual interest.
Other:
- I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of cardstock, and used a die to cut it out.
Assembly
- I glued the card face to the card base, aligning snugly to the left hand edge.
- I added dimensional tape on the back of the sentiment, and put it in place as shown.
- I added a metallic embellishment to the right-hand end of the sentiment.
Final Thoughts:
I’m so happy with this compilation: I love the stencil, the image, the colours – and they all played together wonderfully well.
