Let’s Get Started:

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

Black Border Layer: 5 3/8 x 4 ⅛

Focal Image: 3 1/8 x 1 ⅞

Border for Focal Image: 3.25 x 2

Card Face: 5.25 x 4

Card Face:

I laid the card face down onto my Grip Mat and positioned the stencil.
I applied yellow ink to all exposed areas, using more pressure in the center and allowing the ink to fade towards the edges.

Other:

I had just stamped and coloured this image a couple of days prior, so I grabbed that to use on this card.
I stamped the sentiment on a piece of scrap cardstock and die cut it to create the finished shape.

Assembly

I glued the black border layer to the card base.
I glued the smaller black border layer to the focal image, and then glued that newly layered piece onto the card face.
I put a piece of dimensional foam onto the back of the sentiment and positioned it on an angle across the focal image.

Final Thoughts:

I love this crusty, cantankerous old gal … you can see that she has opinions on anything and everything, and is ready to share them. I was amused by pairing this sentiment with this image: it’s like she is saying, “this is me, this is my style. Deal with it!” LOL.

Supplies: (and links where possible)

I have listed the products I have used and where they can be purchased. It’s a huge marketplace, and in most instances, there are multiple sources and many alternatives to choose from.
