Let’s get Started:

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

5.5 x 4.25

Card Face:

I laid the card face down on the Grip Mat and then positioned the stencil with the lines running vertically.
I used a soft yellow ink and a light hand to create the pattern.
I removed the stencil and rotated it so that the lines were running horizontally, and again applied soft yellow ink with a light hand.
Voila – a fun plaid had been created!
After removing the stencil, I put the card face into my stamp positioner and stamped the girl using black Memento ink. I coloured her using alcohol markers.
I placed the three lines of sentiment as shown in the picture: they were placed very deliberately, even though they have a random appearance.
(The sentiments are all on one stamp, and I had to mask carefully to scatter them on the card face.)
I spattered a bit of green ink across the card face.

Assembly

I glued the card face to the card base.
I glued small gems here and there on the card face.

Final Thoughts:

I love this cute wee girl – she can take on so many moods, depending on what kind of card you want to create. The plaid created with the stencil is a great background for her.
