Prairie Grass Card

The card I am sharing today was inspired by a card created by Melody Hyde and was made using the Prairie Grass stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the prairie grass card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Lights of Aurora dsp – 5” by 1¼”
Gold Foil – 5” by ¼”
Basic White card – 5” by ⅜”

 

I drew a light, slanted pencil line along the bottom of the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card.

The large grass image was then stamped 2 or 3 times in Secret Sea ink overlapping the drawn line at the bottom. Using Pecan Pie ink, I stamped the image 2 or 3 times over the Secret Sea images.

A piece of the Lights of Aurora dsp was adhered to the bottom along the length of the drawn line. The excess was trimmed off with Scissors.

Using Secret Sea ink I stamped the sentiment, from the Blooming Phrases stamp set, onto the thin strip of Basic White card and added it to the stamped panel, trimming off the excess.

A strip of gold foil was added above the sentiment and the panel was glued to the Secret Sea layer. A length of Gold Trim was then wrapped around the whole piece before it was glued to the Thick Basic White card front.
