I’ve had a difficult time being inspired to make cards recently,** but one day while I was searching my photo collection in Lightroom (for something completely different), I came across a photo of a card I made back in 2015. Isn’t it fun when you come across something you’ve made (and forgotten about), and you are impressed with yourself?! Haha!!
I’d been wanting to make a congratulatory card for a good friend who recently had a baby, and seeing that card from 2015 was the perfect hit of inspiration. I got out my Lawn Fawn stamps and made this one:
I decided to use the same masking technique to create a patterned strip: I stamped the adorable dinosaurs from “Rawrsome” in different colors of pigment ink. It didn’t look full enough with just the dinosaurs, so I found a small heart and a tiny star in two other Lawn Fawn sets to fill in the gaps.
I used the same circle+banner as a focal point, but I wanted to take it up another notch. So I colored a mama and baby dinosaur with coordinating Copic colors to embellish the sentiment.
**Perhaps not just recently– cards have always been really hard for me to make!!
