Wild Bunch, Moonlit Flora, Child/Teen Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you using the "Wild Bunch" set. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Mossy Meadow card stock for the top layer. In the center of this piece, I cut the 3rd largest circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set for the largest layer behind the koala bear.

The Designer Series Paper (DPS) is from the "Moonlit Flora" 12" x 12" package to measure 4" x 5-1/4".  I taped the DSP to the Mossy Meadow piece and then that was taped to the card base.

Next I cut the strips. I took a different sheet from the same package of DSP. They measure 1/2" x 3-3/4" and the Mossy Meadow layer measures 3/4" x 4". I taped these layers together and then taped them to the front of the card. The top one is about 1" from the top edge of the card base. I left a 1/8" strip between the next two layer strips. I had a 1/8" strip scrap from cutting my card stock. I was glad I could use it for a spacer! 

Using the 4th circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set I cut a Basic White circle. I took my blending brush and scrubbed on some Mossy Meadow ink. I taped the circles together. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.

The koala bear from the "Wild Bunch" set was stamped using Basic Black ink. I used my Blending Pens to color it in. I colored all the fur areas using the Ivory pen. I'm not sure if it's current but it's what is in my pen holder. Then I colored highlights with the light Pecan Pie pen. I cam back in with the Ivory one to get those two colors to blend in better. The ears were colored in using the dark Petal Pink pen and the nose was colored in using the light Basic Black pen. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the circled layers. Then that was set in place on the front of the card. I centered it on the layered strips.

The words are from the same "Wild Bunch" set and was stamped using Mossy Meadow ink. I punched them out using the "Three Banner" punch. I also punched a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. I cut it in half down the center and taped each end to the back of the word piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I think it's a cute card for a child/teen.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
