Seasonal Branches – Easy Fall – Thank You Card

Instructions:

  1. Cut your paper to size.
  2. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the ½ x 5 in strips of DSP onto the card front about ¼ in from each side.
  3. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the 3 x 5 ½ in DSP onto the center of the card front.
  4. Use a 2 ⅜ in paper punch to get a circle of Basic White.
  5. Use Night of Navy ink to stamp a branch, a bird, and Thanks onto the circle. Make sure to stamp off onto a silicone craft sheet to lighten the color.
  6. Use Cajun Craze ink to stamp a solitary leaf here and there on the branch.
  7. Use a Blender Pen to blend the blue ink on the bird. Clean the tip well before switching colors.
  8. Use the other side of the Blender Pen to blend the color on the leaves.
  9. Add some Wink of Stella for some bling over the colored bird and leaves.
  10. Use a sponge dauber to add some Night of Navy on the edges of the circle.
  11. Add the ribbon onto the lower third of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.
  12. Attach the circle to the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  13. Use Night of Navy ink to stamp a sentiment onto the 4 x 5 ¼ in Basic White.
