This is my second Rubber Stamp Tapestry card sample, and I am totally excited about sharing it with you.

 CARD BASE:

I created the card base by cutting an 8 ½” x 11” piece of white cardstock I purchased at Sam’s Club. I cut the cardstock in half for an 8 ½” x 5 ½” card, scored a line at the 4 ¼” position and folded it in half. That gives us an A2 card measuring 4 ¼” x 5 ½” folded.

CREATING THE DESIGN:

Cut your Oval Die and stamp the sentiment on it using Rhubarb Stalk (ME or MD301). Using a sponge dauber, edge the oval with Rhubarb Stalk and set aside.

To create the design, use the following guidelines for creating your image.

1.       Stamp the Pottery image with Potter’s Clay (ME or MD801) on the lower third of the page. Clean your stamp and return it to your storage box

2.       Stamp one evergreen branch with Northern Pine (MD or ME709) on each side of the five individual pots for a total of 10 branches. Clean your stamp with non-alcoholic baby wipe, stamp cleaner or water.
