Friends to the End

Hello everyone it's Jackie here with todays inspiration. I have used the brand new character dies from the new release 'The Great Outdoors' this card would be great to send a friend just to brighten their day.

Step One:

Start by creating the inky background. Smoosh two shades of blue distress oxide ink pad onto a sheet of acetate or plastic, spritz with water then lay a scrap piece of white card on top and gently push on the card to transfer the ink.

Step Two:

Make a few backgrounds to choose from. Trim one of them down to fit slightly smaller than an A2 card blank then use a sanding tool to create a rough edge, fix to the card front using double sided tape.

Step Three:

Die cut a cloud and sun shape from die set Once upon a time accessories - 1795 and fix in place using glue and 3d foam pads.

Step Four:

Die cut and build the two characters Liam and Jack, place them together so that Liam is looking over Jacks shoulder then attach them to the card front with more 3d foam pads. Dot their eyes with white gel pen to bring them to life.

Step Five:

Attach a length of grass at their feet to ground them. I have used a pretty border die from die set Lace borders - 2022 I think this die makes a great alternative to grass. Stamp out and white emboss the sentiment gluing half to Jacks body then use 3d foam pads for the other half.

That's my finished card for today, These new characters are as adorable as ever and now they have names too! so form me, Jack and Liam - Happy crafting xx
