LDRS Boadwalk Mice
/The more and more cards I create the more and more I realize I love cards that are full of bright colours and partial to cute scenes. I also enjoy changing up the shape of cards. Think it helps look at stamp sets from a different perspective when they are being placed in a different shape frame. This card certainly has those aspects I love about card making. Colour is layered on with stencils and also with a brightly coloured scene.
Get the Look:
I have another slimline card for you. So exciting now that many companies are making dies for unusual shape cards. This card uses the Slim Line Scallop Die Set from LDRS. But no worries if you don’t have a slim line die, rectangles are very easy to make. Simply cut a piece of card stock that is 8 1/2”x 3 1/2” and you’re good to go.
Lay out your stamps and stamp your scene. While you’re at it, stamp masks to cover scene for ink blending over top.
Place masks over the scene and also a straight mask to cover bottom of the card. Using a cloud stencil, I used MFT’s Cloud stencil, layer distress inks in yellow, corral and lilac. I picked these colours because I knew I wanted to use the same colours in the scene.
Now move your straight line mask so you can distress ink blend green layer for the grass. I used a light blend of green straight on the card, then laid a MFT Radiating Rays stencil overtop and blended over a slightly darker green to get the stripes.
Colour scene in with your favourite method of colouring.
All that is left to do is add the sentiment and add the scene to a card base.
