Cut Patterned Paper
- 2 3/8" x 4" Big Cats, Plant design
Basic White CS cut 4" x 5"1/4" emboss with Animal Print Embossing folder
Once embossed, use water painter and Crushed Curry Classic Stamp Pad to splatter the card stock.
Once dry adhere piece to card front
Measure 1/4" from the left side of the Embossed element on card front and adhere the Evening Evergreen 1/4" x 4" cardstock and then the Pattered paper piece 2 3/8" x 4" right next to it flush.
Stamp Images:
- Take the Basic White cardstock cut for stamping images and stamp the Cat and the plant.
- First stamp the Cat in 2nd generation (stamp off once) using Crushed Curry. Take the matching stamp images for face and fur and stamp full strength where applicable. I suggest stamping this enter thing at least once on a scrap paper to practice lining up the face stamps.
- Next stamp again 2nd generation using Evening Evergreen to stamp the plan image.
Die cut the images.
Die cut the small plant element using Evening Evergreen cardstock
Adhere the 3 1/2" x 11/16" Evening Evergreen strip to card front flush with right side of card base. Then take the Basic White Thick cardstock cut 3 1/2" x 1/2" strip and stamp the Sentiment using Evening Evergreen
Add the Cat and the plant to the front of the card using Dimensionals. Then layer on top of the plan using dimensionals the little plan die cut piece in Evening Evergreen.
Inside the card I adhered a few of the scrap items and stamped a coordinating Sentiment inside. And, now your card is finished.
