Let’s get Started:

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

Card Face: 5.25 x 4

Card Face:

• I laid the card face on the Grip Mat, positioned the stencil and applied reddish-brown ink over the exposed areas with a light hand.

• I moved the stencil very slightly down and to the left, and again used the same ink over all exposed areas but this time with a heavy hand.

This created the look of a shadow and added a lot of depth to the image.

• I put the card face into the stamp positioner and added both the man and the sentiment, stamping a couple of times to get a crisp, dark image.

• I added clear embossing powder to both and set the powder with my heat gun.

Other:

• I used a punch to cut a notch out of each corner of the card face.

• I added dimensional foam to the back.

Assembly

• I put the card face in place on the card base.

• I added three small diamond-shaped embellishments to the card face.

Final Thoughts:

I love this guy and his quizical - or in this case, critical - expression.
