You Are Dino-Mite!

Hey friends! Elaine here to share another project featuring the adorable dinosaurs from the June release. I’ve fallen completely in love with these sets, and I hope you like this card and tag combo!

I created a white 5” x 5” card base from heavyweight white card and set aside. The front panel was cut from more heavyweight white card measuring 4.75” x 4.75”. Using the largest circle die from Let’s Party coordinating dies I cut a window from the front of the card panel and stamped the sentiment using a brown pigment ink. To create the hills to sit behind the circular opening I used the curved die from Stitched Borders 1 Dies and used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to add colour and dimension. I secured them to the back of the card panel at different angles to help give the illusion of desert landscape.

Taking the card base, I applied a light layer of Stormy Sky Distress Ink directly to the base to give the scene some sky; being careful not to go too near the edges. The front panel was secured centrally to the card base with foam tape. Lastly, I secured the dinosaurs and palm trees from Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions with liquid adhesive to the scene.  

I’d previously colored a big batch of images so I knew I had enough to create a tag to go with the card.  I cut the large tag from the Scalloped Square Tag die, three times.  I then used the same curved stitched border die to create two hills.  Masking the scalloped edges, I applied Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the hills and Stormy Sky to the base tag. All three layers were then secured together with liquid adhesive. 

To finish the tag, I glued on my dinosaur and palm trees, punched a hole, added some ribbon and voila….we have a matching card and tag set that will put a smile on anyone’s face!

Thank you for stopping by!
