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 attached the stencil to the card face with Mint Tape and applied a soft yellow ink across the entire surface.
I put the card face into my stamp positioner and positioned the 3 stamps so they were evenly spaced across the card face.,
I stamped repeatedly using black Memento ink until I had the desired level of intensity.
Other:
I had the small “thanks” in my Ready to Go binder *** - but in white. I pressed the top of the word into my Versamark pad, sprinkled it with black embossing powder and set this with my heat gun.
*** see Ready to Go binder under the Techniques tab in the header to learn how I use this binder to save both time and money.
Assembly:
I glued the card face to the card base.
I glued the sentiment to the card face as shown.
Final Thoughts
The soft yellow on cream gives a lovely tone-on-tone look, providing a great backdrop for the strong black silhouettes and sentiment.
