Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Border Layer: 5.5 x 4.25
Card Face: 5.5 x 4.25
Card Face:
- I put the card face into the stamp positioner and stamped the bunny a couple of times with black Memento ink, centering the image.
- I coloured her in with alcohol markers (Memento ink doesn’t react to alcohol, making it perfect for this purpose).
- I put the card face onto the grip mat and positioned the stencil: I used pink ink to create the pattern around the bunny – using more ink/ more pressure around the edges and allowing the ink to fade as I neared the center.
- I added a rectangular stitched die to the card face, centering carefully. This die creates a pattern in the paper; \it is not a cutting die.
- I returned the card face to the stamping platform and added the sentiment with Versafine Onyx. This is actually one stamp: to create the separation, I had to mask off the appropriate section, and stamp the other.
- I used a punch on all four corners to create the peek-a-boo pattern.
Assembly
- I glued the black border layer to the card base, and then added the card face on top of that.
- I thought this card needed one final detail, so I added a clear heart shaped gem to the card face to finish it off.
Final Thoughts:
- This bunny is absolutely adorable, and that sentiment suits perfectly.
- If I were to re-do this card, I would position the “sending” a little further to the right – but by the time I saw the problem on this card it was too late to fix!
