Meowdy... Let's Hang Out!

Hello Tea Timers, it's DT Randy and I am back on the blog with a fun card scene that's somewhat of an extrovert vs. introvert type scene. I feel like with our friends, there's always one who loves to go out and there's the one friend who prefers to stay in and read a good book. I am definitely the latter unless food is involved!

Sets used:

• Autumn Scene Cover Plate Die
• Purrfect Day Stamp and Die Collection
• Stitched Window Cover Die
• Landscape Edge Standalone Die set 

I first stamped out my images and used the following Copic Markers to color them:

• Cats: YR00, YR02, YR12, YR14, YR16
• Books: RV21, RV23, RV25, YG21, YG23, YG25, BG11, BG13, BG15, Y11, Y13, Y15, R20, R22
• Plant: V00, V01, V04

I then die cut the images using the coordinating die set. And set them to the side. I then took the Autumn Scene Cover Plate die and cut it out of white cardstock. I took the tree trunk and blended it with Antique Linen, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo. To create my tree, I used the same technique that I used in the "Build a Tree in Minutes" tutorial you can find here. I essentially use the grass die from the Landscape Edge die set and cut it out of cardstock in different angles. This time I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Forest Moss to blend the tree. 

I took the Stitched Window Cover die and cut it out of white cardstock. I then used Uncharted Mariner, which has been my favorite new blue and blended it onto the window. I trimmed another piece of cardstock down to size and used a Cloud stencil I had in my stash to blend with Salvaged Patina. You can use the Slimline Scene Builder Stencil as well to create the same cloud look. 

To finish off my card, I stamped the sentiments onto pink cardstock using embossing ink and heat embossed it with White embossing powder. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I used liquid adhesive to adhere all the images to complete the scene and foam tape for the sentiments.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I love creating these scenes as it is always fun to tell a story. If you liked any of the products that I used in this post, don't forget to use the code T4TRANDY10 at checkout for some savings. Have a crafty day!
