A couple of CAS challenges were inspirations for my card.
Stamps: Adorable Elephants, Bitty Birthday Wishes
Dies: Adorable Elephants, Impact Alphabet, Blueprint Sketch 25 (retired)
Started by stamping the elephant from Adorable Elephants with Copic friendly black ink on Copic friendly paper. Coloured in with Copics then die cut out with the coordinating die.
An aqua piece of cardstock was then die cut with a stitched rectangle die from Blueprint Sketch 25 (retired). Next, the Impact Alphabet letters M and S were die cut from the panel. Adhered the panel to a white top folding card base, then inlaid the letters die cut from black. Die cut the letters again from white shimmer cardstock and offset them for a shadow effect. Popped up the elephant image with foam tape for a bit of dimension. Added the white embossed on black cardstock you sentiment from Bitty Birthday Wishes to finish.
Then last night, I found out that a friend was in the hospital. So I created this fun "cheeky" (pun intended) card for her.
Stamps: Hog Heaven, Adorable Elephants
Dies: Hog Heaven, Impact Alphabet,
Essential Speech Bubbles (retired), Blueprint Sketch 25 (retired)
As you can see, I used the same design and followed the same process as above, except for a couple of additional steps:
1. ink blended the letters with Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar distress inks
2. partial die cut the sentiment with the Essential Speech Bubbles die.
The I'm Sorry is meant for a birthday, but I though it worked for a get well card by writing "I hope you feel better soon..." on the inside. I really hope this makes her smile like I was while making it. 😂
Love the large size of the Impact Alphabet dies and with so many critter stamps, the possibilities are endless. And that doe it for me. Thank you for dropping by.
