CARDSTOCK BASE:
I created the card base by cutting an 8 ½” x 11” piece of green cardstock. 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. I
also made the following cuts:
White Cardstock – 1 piece 2 ¾” x 5” and 1 piece at 2 1/8”
x 2 1/8”.
Green Cardstock – 1 piece 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”
Orange Cardstock – 1 piece 3 ¾” x 2 ¾”
CREATING THE
DESIGN:
To create the design, use the following guidelines for
creating your image.
1.
On the two white cardstock pieces, I stamped the
leaf with Cottage Ivy and another leaf with Pear Tart (see photo for stamping guide).
2.
On the two white cardstock pieces, I stamped the
flowers with Danube Blue, Tangelo and Cantalope.
3.
I stamped the cat in the center of the small
square with Rich Cocoa.
4.
I edged the white cardstock pieces with Cottage
Ivy and added a second layer of Rich Cocoa.
5.
I edged the orange and green squares with Rich
Cocoa.
6.
Assemble the card as shown in the picture. I
used foam dots beneath the green square.
Your card is finished and now you’re ready to mail or
give it to that special someone in your life. Thank you for crafting with us.
