Canada Inks Up! November Blog Hop

It’s time for another Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop. We are a group of Canadian Demonstrators that love to share the projects we make and hope you get some ideas and tips from what we share. This month’s Blog Hop is Birthday.

Here are the cutting and instructions to create this card:

Card base is 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″
Night of Navy card stock layer is 5 3/8″ x 4″, glued directly to the card base with liquid glue
Basic White top layer is 3 7/8″ x 5 1/4″
Die cut the Aspen Trees in the middle of the Basic White layer
Use a sponge dauber and some Smoky Gray ink and lightly sponge the tree trunks and branches to give them a little more pop
On another piece of Basic White card stock measuring 3 7/8″ x 5 1/4″ , lightly brush some Balmy Blue and Starry Sky ink for the sky using a Blending Brush. For the grass use Old Olive and Mossy Meadow and lightly brushed with a Blending Brush
Attach the sky layer to the tree die cut layer with dimensionals
Attach the tree layer directly to the Night of Navy card stock layer with liquid glue
Stamp the gnomes and the toadstool with Memento Black ink on scrapes of Basic White card stock and die cut them out with the matching dies
Color the gnomes and mushroom with Stampin Blends
Pop the mushroom and the gnomes up on the card with dimensionals
Stamp a sentiment from the Heron Habitat stamp set in Memento Black ink and cut it out and pop it on the card with dimensionals
