Moon Lake – The Best Day

Design Time: Cardz 4 Guyz (#385) for a clean and simple styled card choosing the Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#561) sketch.

Design influences: Farm Quest (#82) for a Pond scene; Time Out (#311) Pick Two: Trees and Earth; with the colors suggested by Facebook SU! Colours (#2604).

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Garden Green cardstock.
  • The greeting, Have The Best Day, from the Cutest Crew stamp set, an On-Line Exclusive product, was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder and then dry-embossed with the retired Painted Pines 3D Embossing Folder for the Trees.
• Diagonal Cross Strip: (5¼” x 1”) cut @ (½”) Variegated Greens patterned piece of paper from the Nature’s Walk Designer Series Paper pack suggesting Grass and/or Earth.
• Focal Image: (2½” x 2½”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
  • The Duck Pond image from the retired Moon Lake stamp set was stamped with Early Espresso ink and lightly watercolored with the Fine-Tipped Water Painter using Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Garden Green inks.
  • Once dry, the scene was die-cut with the (2⅜” x 2⅜”) Stitched Square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.

All elements were adhered to the card base.  The Focal Image was popped up with Dimesionals. A little texture with a simple layout for this attractive “guy” card.
