The Best Day – In The Meadow

Welcome back!  Happy Friday…

Several similar challenges are about, so this one will try to do them all justice.

Starting with the Addicted to CAS (#320) for the style and technique; choosing the Sunday Stamps (#398) sketch; and the Creative Colours (#266) palette.

Adding in a Masculine theme for: The Male Room (#216); Moving Along With The Times (#195); and Seize The Birthday (#338).

Picking up the Animal theme for: Make My Monday (#290); Cupcake Inspirations (#643) and Critter Crazy (#116).

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Pool Party cardstock.
• Card Front: (5¼” x 4”) Basic White cardstock.
  • Mask #1 – Arch: (5¼” x 4”) Copy Paper die-cut with the (2¼” x 3½”) Arch die from the Everyday Arches Dies set, an On-Line Exclusive Product.
    • Using a Blending Brush, Pool Party ink was added.
  • The Deer image from the retired In The Meadow stamp set was stamped with Early Espresso ink.
  • Mask #2 – Deer: (2¼” x 2¼”) Copy Paper.
    • The Deer image was stamped again with Early Espresso ink and fussy-cut with Detail Scissors.
  • With the Deer Mask in place, the Tree image from the same stamp set was stamped with Early Espresso ink.
  • The Mask was removed and the Deer were colored with the Light Pecan Pie and Soft Suede (retired) Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Highlights were added with the White Gel Pen.
  • Flag Shapes – Sentiment: The sentiment, Have The Best Day, from the Cutest Crew stamp set, also an On-Line Exclusive Product, was stamped three times, varying the length and the words with Blueberry Bushel ink.

Keeping it clean and simple, for a masculine birthday featuring animals.
