The base of the card is a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Gray Granite card stock. I cut a piece of Daffodil Delight that measured 4" x 5-1/4" and taped it to the Gray Granite piece.
Next I cut the Basic White piece. It measures 5" x 7-1/2" and I folded it in half. A 3/4" x 5" piece of Gray Granite was cut for the center strip and a 1" x 5" piece of Daffodil Delight piece was cut for the layer. I stamped the shells and bubbles from the "Friendly Seagulls" set using Gray Granite ink. Then I taped the piece to the Daffodil Delight strip and then that was taped to the front of the card. It's not quite centered but pretty close, it's about 1-1/8" from the bottom edge of the Basic White piece.
The gull was stamped next using black Memento ink. I colored the beak in with my light Pumpkin Pie Blends pen and the wings were colored using my light Gray Granite Blends pen. I punched the bird out using the 1-3/4" circle punch. I used my Blending Brush and Daffodil Delight ink and went around the edge of the circle. Dimensionals were added to the back. I set the piece on top of the card front but I didn't remove the backing from the Dimensionals. I needed to see where the words would go.
The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using black Memento ink.
I stamped the birds in the sky using Gray Granite ink. I taped the folded Basic White piece to the front.
The gull was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.
This was a fun card to make. I like the clean and simple look of it. And I like the way it opens. This layout allows you to use some fun colored card stock layers and not using a full half-sheet.
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,
Wanda
