Hey Rabbit Hole Crafters! Justin here, and I'm back again with another card using some of my favorite The Rabbit Hole Designs Products!
I was inspired to make this card by all the colorful citrus fruits out there, and definitely wanted to use those colors with both my Dino and the stenciled background!
I always start with coloring up my image first with my alcohol markers. Because I was using the citrus colors of Green, Yellow and Orange, I wanted to use those colors for my dinosaur! So I made my dino green, his mug yellow, and his slippers orange. One item of the Caffeinated Critters I've had a lot of fun with is their eyes. I've really been trying to use a color you don't find anywhere else on the project, so their eye sticks out. For this guy, I went with a light blue!
After cutting my
Caffeinated Dino out, I started to work on my background. I cut a piece of white cardstock down to 4" x 5.25. I adhered the
Twisted Sunshine Stencil with a light tack adhesive so my stencil stayed in place. Next, I came up with a pattern for the order of my colors, just to add a bit of cohesiveness to the card instead of a random order.
I used a torn up post-it note to mask each individual partial circle, and used my blending brushes to blend the respective ink color. I then repeated until the entire panel was covered!
I used a stitched scalloped die to cut out a respective scalloped circle from a yellow wood-print paper. I adhered that to the center of my stenciled panel.
I matted my stenciled pattern on an A2-sized orange wood-print-patterned paper.
I trimmed down a sentiment strip on white cardstock, matted it with leftover yellow wood print paper, and stamped my sentiment in green.
I adhered my sentiment and dino on foam tape. To finish the project, I placed green and orange enamel dots for some extra embellishment. And that's how I made my card!
I used the following products to create this project:
