Another Card

I was excited to see this sketch on Splitcoast because I wanted to make another tall card, and I never seem to take the time to figure out how to cut it and how to use my cardstock. It just seems easier to cut the cardstock in half one way, or the other. This was a tall sample... The directions said to cut it at 8 x 9 1/4 and score at 4" and 3/4". Funny thing though it never said how tall the card was so I wasnt sure if you did it at 9 1/4" high or 8 " high. I did it 8 high..

I also ended up having to trim the bottom to fit it in an envelop. next time I'll figure out my own measurements I think.

I used scraps for this card also. except for the DP. I stamped in Timber Brown StazOn...I really like the Brown with the Earthy colors. I colored the bird using EE colors and my Aqua painter, using ruby red and More Mustard the most with a touch of Close to Cocoa, and Old Olive on the branch. I cut the strip of Mustard Cardstock to the width I had scored on edge and folded it back and attached it with Super tacky tape...after embossing it with my Divine Swirl folder. the seam where the ends of the folder met after doing two passes is behind the scalloped circle. I decided when making this card that someone need to make a 1-3/4" circle and square punch. because I can't cut a circle that size with any of my punches or my Cricut without using the software and I didnt want to do it for one punch...so I just used my 1 3/8" SU circle Punch. The scalloped circle was an extra one I cut a while back on my Cricut. The Real Rust circle is matted flat on the scallope and the bird image is mounted on dimensionals. The red brads are from last falls, scrapping sets from Targets Dollar Spot...I felt the red on the bird needed some help popping on the card. I tore the inside edge of the Real Rust as a strip and mounted it on the edge of the card and used a pen to add faux stitching to the card. "Welcome" is from SU's Warm Words set and the inside sentiment is from Small Sayings...

Until Later... Happy Stamping!
