Let’s get Started:

Card Base: 5.25 x 10.5, scored and folded at 5.25

Card Face: 5 x 5

Card Face:

• I laid the card face on my Grip Mat , positioned the stencil and covered all exposed areas with a light teal ink.

• After placing the card face in the stamp positioner I added the image using a dark grey ink. (I wanted the card to have an overall soft feel, and although I usually love the strong contrast that black provides I didn’t want it in this design.)

Other:

I looked through my binder ** and selected a sentiment that worked well with this image.

** See Ready To Go Binder under Techniques in the header.

Assembly

• I centered and glued the card face onto the card base.

• I added the sentiment.

• I wanted the card to have something more, but wanted to keep the overall gentle feel of the design: in the end I added Nuvo drops to act as snowfall.

Final Thoughts:

This is such a fabulous image, I was really anxious to use it on a card. I’m really pleased with the feelings this card evokes.
