Step by Step Instructions
- Cardbase: Cut a piece of Neenah cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ to create a top folding card base.
- Base Layer: Ink the Spring Background stamp using Versafine Clair ink in Nocturne and stamp a piece of Hammermill cardstock cut to 4.25″ x 5.5″. Trim the stamped image using the 4″ x 5.25″ die from the Hero Arts Nesting Rectangle Infinity die set.
- Background Layer: Cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock using the 3″ x 4.25″ die from the from the Hero Arts Nesting Rectangle Infinity die set. Set aside until assembly.
- Image Layer: Cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock using the 2.75″ x 4″ die from the Hero Arts Nesting Rectangle Infinity die set.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Bunny Life stamp set using Versafine Clair ink in Nocturne approximately an inch from the bottom of the panel.
- Stamp the grass image from the Bunny Life stamp set four times so that it will extend slightly beyond the central colored, die cut image. Color the grass with YG03. Color a grassy shadow below using YG03 and YG17. See photo for details.
- Ink blend lightly across the top of the panel using Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass. You can deepen the grassy shadowed area if desired using Distress Ink in Twisted Citron.
- Set aside to allow the inks to dry thoroughly.
- Image: Stamp the image from the Bunny Life stamp set on a piece of Hammermill cardstock using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. Color the image with Copic markers (see list) and trim the image using the coordinating die. Adhere foam squares to the back of the die cut.
- Finishing: Assemble layers as shown. I use Beacon’s Advanced Craft Glue to glue the layers.
