Wish Big Card
Supplies:
Mixed bunch stamp set
Word play stamp set
Blossom punch
Scallop trim border punch
1" circle punch
3/4" circle punch
Scallop dots ribbon
Patterned paper stack
Turquoise CS
Pumpkin pie CS
Black CS
Inks and dimensional
Most of the card is easy and obvious to do. The one little twist is the patterned paper was cut in rectangle (in this case 3.75 x 5). Cut slit in middle of paper and fold back to corners. Easy!
Supplies:
Blossom punch
1-3/8 circle punch
3/4 circle punch
Small heart punch
Owl builder punch
Chevron folder
More mustard CS
Black CS
So saffron CS
Always artichoke CS
Delightful dozen stamp set
Black ink pad
dimensions
Black marker
More mustard ink
So saffron ink
Build lions head as shown. With the blossom punch and the larger circles for face, cheeks, and mane, distress edges with ink and sponges. Build the face and use the marker for the pupils and whiskers.
The background: use so saffron ink pad and run on the top side of the embossed folder place your card stock and run through the big shot.
For the word mat: cut your artichoke CS a couple inches larger than the word mat. Cut to simulate "grass". Place lion head down and then crunch "grass" down for desired look.
