Mondays at the Hero Arts blog are called 'Motivational Mondays'...they get you thinking out-of-the-box! This past Monday Nancy Taylor introduced a 'wrap-around card'. I was tempted and caved to this fun twist on a standard card!
I used the new Branch 'n Leaf Long Borders - these are clear, quality Hero Arts stamps...each twelve inches long! I purchased a long clear block to use with them. Using one of the leaf borders and an Adirondack Lettuce pad, I stamped on the front and back of the cardstock piece (4-1/4" x 11"), then scored at 5-1/2" to form a card base.
Scoring after stamping ensured my cardstock layed flat while stamping.
I Added in Prima flowers, an adorable owl, bird and verse sayings from the Happy Hello set. Since I used Copic markers to color in the animals on the card, I opted to stamp them on a piece of white cardstock scrap, then color, cut out, and adhere with foam dimensionals. Hero Arts Gemstones were added among the Prima flowers.
Hope you all have a fun week and thank you for stopping by!
