Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 4.25 x 11, scored and folded at 5.5
Card Face: 4 x 5.25
Card Face:
I laid the card face on the Grip Mat and positioned the stencil. I applied yellow ink from the top right corner down into the card face, stopping about ⅔ of the way down.
I allowed the ink to dry and then put the card face into the stamp positioner.
I created the scene using black Memento Ink for the stamping, and then coloured using alcohol markers.
I added the clouds to the sky, colouring them in using white gel pens to cover the yellow ink.
Assembly
I added dimensional foam to the back of the card face, and then glued it to the base, centering on all sides.
I added Glossy Accents to the kite, to make it stand out
Final Thoughts:
I find the kite too dark in this scene, and would use lighter colours if I were to recreate this card. Aside from that I’m happy with the end result.
Supplies: (and links where possible)
I have listed which products I have used, and where they may be purchased. It's a huge marketplace and in most instances, there are multiple sources and many alternatives to choose from.
