The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I sponged on some Pebbled Path ink. Yup, I used a sponge. I have not used one in a long time, not since the Blending Brushes came into being.
I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Cajun Craze card stock for the layer. On top of that layer is a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Basic White. I sponged the edges here too and the are where the pieces gap under the focal pieces. I taped these two pieces together and then taped that to the card base.
On the right I cut a 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" piece of Cajun Craze card stock that I textured using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder. I glued it on top of the Basic White layer.
On the left side I cut a piece of Cajun Craze piece that measures 3-1/8" x 3-3/4". And the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Storybook Moments" 12" x 12" package was cut at 3" x 3-5/8". I taped the DSP to the Cajun Craze layer and then taped the layers to the front of the card.
Using a die from the "Perennial Postage" I cut one of Basic White and sponged on some Pebbled Path ink and one from the "Timeless Plaid" 6" x 6" stack. I taped the two pieces together, offsetting them.
The words are from the "Timeless Friends" bundle and were stamped on a Basic White oval that was sponged with the Pebbled Path ink. The oval was a leftover piece from cutting the framed die in the bundle. I stamped the words using black Memento ink. I taped it to the center of the "Timeless Plaid" piece.
I fussy cut the bunny and the flowers from a sheet of DSP in the "Storybook Moments" package. Also in that package I took out the sheet that has punch outs. I punched out the carrots and tool. I added a Dimensional to the foot and knee area of the bunny and to the greens on the carrots, tape was added to the rest of the pieces and they were set in place on the front of the card. I started with the fussy cut flowers. I taped them in place in the center (sort of) area and then the bunny was next. The carrots were added and the tool was slipped under them a bit.
A black Baker's Twine bow was tied and glued in place. I like to use Tacky glue on the twine because the mono glue absorbs through the fibers and sometimes makes the bow sticky and sticks to the inside of the envelop. That doesn't happen with Tacky glue.
I added a few retired gems to the front of the card and the card was done.
This was a fun card to make and I like how it turned out even though I didn't totally follow the original card.
Thank you SO very much for stopping in to see today's thank you card,
Wanda
