Simple Layers and Die-Cuts ~ Uplifting Card

Hello, Gaylynn here.  Thanks for visiting. Today, I am sharing a sweet highland cow card with simple layers and die-cuts plus an uplifting message.

This project shows an easy way to add accents with stamps, dies and patterned paper layers.

 

Helpful tips:

1. Prepare an A2 sized card base, 4 1/4″ x 5.5″ folded.

2. Trim or die-cut a card background panel from patterned paper.

3. Stamp the highland cow and the sentiment onto two pieces of white cardstock using black alcohol-friendly ink.

4. Color the cow using Copic markers or your favorite coloring tools. Also, add ink blending and masking.

5. Trim or die-cut the sentiment.

6. Die-cut the cow using an arch die. Also, die-cut another arch in black to frame the cow layer. Adhere and add twine.

7. For a top border, die-cut brown patterned paper using a large circle die that is cut in half.

8. Adhere the background paper panel using flat double-sided tape.

9. Layer the top border, the cow panel and the sentiment label over the background, to finish.

This is another look at the card.
