Let’s get Started:

Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25

Card Face:  5 3/8 x 4 1/8

Card Face:

  • I laid the card face onto the Grip Mat and applied green and blue ink with a soft hand. 
  • I placed the stencil over the card face and used a variety of dark and medium green inks over the exposed areas.
  • I moved the card face to the stamp positioner and added the image with Versafine Onyx.
  • I intensified the blue around the edges, which adds to the sense of looking into a scene.
  • I spattered the card face with white metallic watercolour .

Other:

  • I stamped the sentiment on a piece of scrap cardstock and cut it out with a punch.
  • I cut two additional “blanks” with the punch.

Assembly

  • I glued the three punched shapes together,  with the sentiment on top.
  • I glued the card face to the card base, and added the sentiment as shown.

Final Thoughts:

I love the soft colours with the gentle feel and sentiment used on this card.
