Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Basic White cardstock in half at the score line and burnish well with your Bone Folder.
- Adhere the Flight & Airy Sale-A-Bration paper to the front of the card.
- Using the 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Basic White Cardstock, stamp the “floral branch” in the upper right corner using Black Memento Ink.
- Stamp the hedgehog below the branch using Black Memento ink. Stamp the “grass” around the bottom of the hedgehog as shown in the sample using the same ink.
- Stamp the butterfly to the left of the Hedgehog as shown in the sample using Black Memento ink.
- Color in the Branches using the Light Granny Apple Green Blend. Color in the flowers using the Calypso Coral Blends.
- Color in the Grass using the Dark Granny Apple Green Blend.
- Color in the butterfly using the Balmy Blue Blends.
- Color in the Hedgehog using the Bronze Blend for his “bristles” and the Ivory Blend for his inside body. Tip: add a light layer of the Ivory Blend below his body – this will “anchor” him to the card so that he’s not “floating” around the grass.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1″ x 1-3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock using Black Memento ink. Adhere to the Garden Green cardstock and glue onto the front of the card as shown in the sample to finish.
A Tip from Barb
This is the perfect card sketch for whenever you have some pretty paper you’d like to use! Just grab 2-3 colors from the paper you want to use and pull your coordinating cardstock, inks and any embellishments you’d like! I used the Stampin’ Blends on this card for quick coloring, but any medium will work! An easy peasy card without any stress – I love when my pretty paper can do the heavy lifting on my cards!😊
