Hi. Design team member Koren Wiskman here. I hope that I can inspire you to create something fun with all of these awesome T4T supplies. Today I am using the Time for Tea Designs Squeeze the Day stamp set and coordinating dies to create this project.
The card size is A2 (4.25in x5.5in.) The front panel is cut to 3.25in x 4.75in. This is my favorite size card to create. I have tried so many others but this size is the one that keeps my heart happy. My card bases are typically made using a neutral gray cardstock. These two details about my cards rarely change.
Focal Image
These adorable critters are from the T4TD Squeeze the Day stamp set. Looking at this card makes me want a tropical rum drink. To color them, I wanted to play with my colored pencils. I was watching the kids color with pencils this past weekend and I wanted to play too. I used waterproof black ink to stamp my images onto heavyweight white cardstock. I used a ton of pencils to color this image and it did take me a few days. Colored pencil coloring is time consuming but worth it. I love the results.
Sentiment
I stamped the sentiment also from the T4TD Squeeze the Day stamp set in the same black ink as the images. Both the background image and the sentiment are stamped directly onto the white card panel.
Embelishments
The front image and the trio of hearts are popped up using various heights of dimensional foam tape. I love love love dimension and use it every chance I get. Do you see her little pearl earring? That is a little tiny pearl from and old sheet of various size adhesive pearls. This was the smallest size and it fit perfectly. You could also use a bead in this situation.
I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Squeeze the Day Stamp set and coordinating dies in the T4TD shop.
