Hello Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Customized Card for a Happy Hello!

Today Ellen has created a fun spring card that is sure to make a friend feel special. This fun custom card features the kitty in some fun pink rain boots from our Newton's Rain Boots Stamp Set. She colored this cute image along with the flowers and ducks from the set and cut them out using the coordinating Newton's Rain Boots Die Set.  

This cute image was added onto a scene that was created using our Land Borders Die Set for grass and hills, our Fence Die Set and our Sky Scene Builder Die Set to add clouds. Over the sky she created a custom sentiment by spelling her friends name using letters die cut out with our Essential Alphabet Die Set. She also added "hello"  and some tiny hearts from the Newton's Birdhouse Stamp Set. 

How to create this card:

Below we have some instructions from Ellen on how to create this card.

1. (left photo) I colored the images from the Newton's Rain Boots Stamp Set with Copic Markers:
   Ducks: beak YR16, Y38, YR31, body Y17 + Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11 + belly Y02, Y00, Y000
   Cat: body Y28, E43, E41, E40 + ears: RV13, RV42, E02
   Boots: gold Y28, Y26, Y21 + pink RV06, RV04, RV02, R000 + light purple RV19, RV17, RV14, RV06, RV04 + dark purple V09, BV08, BV04
   Flowers: leaves YG07, YG05, YG03, YG00 + blue BG13, BG11, BG10 + yellow YR16, Y35, Y13
   Hearts: RV04, RV21, RV00.
   
   
2. (center photo) Next I created the background using the Sky Scene Builder Die Set, Land Borders Die Set and Fence Die Set and distress ink.
   
   
3. (right photo) As last step I added the message on the card. I transferred the foil on top of a Transfer Sheet. I did cut a piece of foil slightly larger than the design. Then I placed foil, color side up, on top of the back side of the Transfer Sheet. I placed both pieces inside a folded parchment paper. Next inserted the folded parchment paper with the project into a hot laminator. As the last step, I took out the project and peeled the foil transfer sheet away to reveal the foiled piece of paper! It was time to die cut the name out of this glimmer paper using the Essential Alphabet Die Set!
