A No Bones About It Dinosaur Birthday

Welcome back!  So happy you joined me.

Over at Cupcake Inspirations (#588), the theme is Dinosaurs.  I had to borrow the retired stamp set, No Bones About It, from a friend as I do not have anything in my collection that would suit.  Over at Seize The Birthday (#278), the focus is the color Red.  Keeping the card clean and simple for a bright little boy, I opted to use the Saturday Sketch (#745) for my layout and am sharing this with AAA Cards (#259) for their optional Birthday twist.

Here is the result:

NO BONES ABOUT IT – CIC588 – STB278 – SS745 – AAACC259

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Real Red cardstock.
  • Focal Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Basic White cardstock.
    • The Brontosaurus image was stamped with Smoky Slate ink.
    • The Triceratops image was stamped with Gray Granite ink.
    • Using a Blender Pen, a bit of ink was removed from the inked stamps to create a white space for the animal’s eye(s).
    • Using a Black Liquid Gel Pen, I added the eye(s).
  • Accent Strip: (5¼” x 1⅜”) Real Red cardstock.
  • Blocks: (1¾” x 1¼”) Real Red patterned pieces of paper from the Regals Color Collection Designer Series Paper pack.
  • Sentiment: Basic White cardstock scrap.
    • The sentiment, Have a Dino-rrific Birthday, was stamped with Real Red ink.  The three-line image was cut in sections with Paper Snips.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  A bright yet, clean and simple card so suitable for a little fellow.

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today.   Cheers,  Jolanda!
