You're My Favorite Friendosaurus card | Cut Cardstock DT

Good morning everyone, Sarah here this morning to share another Dinosaur card with you. I know I'm sorry, but I really like these little guys, but this might be the last one on the blog for a while, since I have some other things I wanted to play with. Now on my instagram, I can't promise lol.

As with most of my cards, I started with a base using Cougar White Smooth Cardstock. I had cut another piece of the same white cardstock down to a 4x5 1/4, this way my card would have a little white border. I laid it down on my desk, pulled a stencil from my stash and placed it where I wanted and secured it with low tack tape. Then I went to blending my Tumbled Glass distressed oxide and my Spun Sugar distressed oxide until I liked the way it looked.

I pulled out a die from my stash and cut one in the same white cardstock and another in Aqua, this way there would be another border between the patterned area and the dino itself. I wanted a little shading to the Aqua piece, so I grabbed my Tumbled glass distress oxide and blended some in on the sides.

I layered all my pieces up, really I thought I wanted the arches layered and coming from the bottom, but I changed my mind and decided I wanted them coming from the left side. Once I had those in place, I decided where I wanted my dino, ( My dinos were all stamped out on the same white cardstock). Then I stamped my sentiment, added some 3d foam behind my dino and stuck it down, then added a few little dots from my stash and called this one done!

Short Arms, Warm Heart card | Cut Cardstock DT

Good morning everyone!! How was your week? Happy it's friday? Well I am!! I want to get to some more crafting!! Speaking of crafting, I wanted to share another card with yall that I made. I sure have been on a card making kick lately, but that's ok lol.

I make the base of my cards out of Cougar white smooth cardstock, I also do all my stamping on the same cardstock as well. I do that because I love the way the stamping comes out, clean and crisp, along with the way the cardstock takes the distressed oxides in this case, and alcohol inks in other cases. When I had stamped out my dinos, I pulled my glass mat and started to play with distressed oxides and my water brush, until I liked the way the dinos looked. I set them aside to dry and pulled my heart background die. I played with different colors to go behind the die cut and settles on Light yellow. I wanted a little more color so I pulled my mustard seed distressed oxide and blended it from the top and faded into the cardstock color.

Putting the die cut on the Light yellow cardstock and adding it to the card base, I didn't like my dino just sitting here with nothing, so I pulled some Aqua cardstock and cut out a circle that was large enough to put my dino on and make it have a home.

I added its little tree, made sure some of the grass could fit behind the dino and then popped the dino up on some 3d adhesive and added my little sentiment and called this one done!
