Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.25 x 10.5, scored and folded at 5.25
Black Border Layer: 5 x 5
Card Face: 4 ⅞ x 4 7/8
Card Face:
- I placed the card face on my work surface, positioned the stencil and secured it with low-tack tape. (I find that my grip mat doesn’t work well with these larger cards, as there isn’t enough margin to stick well.)
- I used light green ink over all exposed areas.
- I stamped the circular image in the middle of the background and cut it out with a die that was just slightly larger.
- I used my scissors to roughen up the edges of both the card face and the circular die cut.
Other:
- I die cut the pieces of the chick from white cardstock and pressed them into yellow or orange ink pads to create the colours. (I used a fineliner to colour the oh-so-tiny eyes.)
- I cut two of the signs and glued them together. I added the stamped sentiment as shown.
Assembly
- I assembled the chick and put her aside to dry.
- I glued the black border layer to the card base and placed the card face on top.
- I glued the die-cut circle back into the center and then added the chick on top.
- I trimmed the bottom of the sign into a curve, and then glued it into place against the chick’s wing.
- I added orange spatter to the card face.
- I added orange card bling to the finished card, starting at the top-left corner and ending at the bottom-right corner.
Final Thoughts:
I wasn’t certain how I wanted to use this stencil , so I pondered a bit, and then played a bit.
I’m super happy with how it turned out.
