I scored and folded my brown cardstock
to create the easel (see back below). Cut another piece of the brown
cardstock for my front and covered it edge to edge with a brown on
brown polka dotted scrapbook cardstock (Bo Bunny "Chocolate
Dot"). Adhered it all to the front.
Inked up the Bark
embossing folder with Distress "Ground Espresso", misted
with water and ran through my machine. Repeated the process. Then
sponged "Tea Dye" all over. Folded the cardstock at the
join of the 2 embossings and cut them apart with an x-acto knife,
then spliced them together again. Unless you know they were spliced
is really hard to see... Used
Spellbinders "Matting Basics "B" 5 x 7 die set to cut
out the frame. Adhered to card front. For
the leaves, applied the Pan Pastels to the smooth side of the
cardstock. It adhered beautifully... (see pastel background pic
above). Die cut the leaves and used a small balled stylus to add
veining, then touched areas with more pastels for contrasts. Hit the
edges with a Versamark pad and embossed with Queen's Gold. Stamped
the quote with Versafine Toffee and embossed with the gold. |
 Die
cut the bird from the textured side of the white cardstock and also
colored with the pastels, adding some black fine tipped marker lines
in the wing and beak. Final touch added a very small black
rhinestone for the eye. The
flowers were die cut from the textured side and colored with the
pastels after die cutting. First with red in the centers and then
with yellow on the edges, then tooled both on front and back with a
large balled stylus on a foam mat. After adhered the leaves and
flowers, adhered the glittered pearl centers adding a dab of Best
Ever glue. Die
cut the "Friends" word from the textured side and colored
with streaks of various yellows (lightest on top and darker on the
bottom). Scored a piece of the BoBunny cardstock to be the same
height as the front edge around frame. Adhered the bottom edge of
the word to the scored edge. Adhered the fold to the floor to act as
the stopper. |
