C reate a card to send to a friend who needs encouragement to take time to relax and rejuvenate!
Project Recipe
Cut a card base from Balmy Blue 8 1/2 x 11 inch card stock. Cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. Score at 4 /14.
Cut a piece of Whisper White to 2 1/4 x 3 inches to use for the stamped image of the name relaxing in the chair.
Begin coloring in the image beginning with the shorts in Light Pool Party Blends marker.
Color the chair in Light and Dark Bermuda Bay Blends. Begin with the Light Bermuda Bay Blends on the chair and then highlight the chair with the Dark Bermuda Bay.
Next color in the shirt in Light and Dark Old Olive Blends. Again, start with the Light Old Olive and highlight with Dark Old Olive.
Color the ground with Light and Dark Crumb Cake.
Next, color the hat with Dark Crumb Cake and Bronze blends. Start with the Dark Crumb Cake and highlight with the Bronze.
Layer the completely colored image on to a piece of Old Olive card stock to 2 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Layer a piece of Basic Black card stock that measures 5 1/2 inches by 1 inch onto the Pool Party card base.
Add the Old Olive and colored image layer to the right hand side of the card over the black layer. It should be positioned about 1/4 of an inch from the right side of the card and toward the top.
Stamp the Relax Your Way sentiment onto a piece of scrap Whisper White (needs to be at least 3 inches by 1 inch).
Use the larger label die from the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies. Place the label over the sentiment so that it is centered. Run through a die cutting machine. Tip: I use a Post- It Note to secure the die over the stamped image just in case it might move.
Adhere the sentiment on top of the Basic Black layer to the left of the colored image.
