You are braver than believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think."~ Winnie the Pooh
This was a fun card to make- I tend to stick to card stock and rarely use patterned paper (even though I have a ton of it). I just got this cute bear stamp from Unity Stamp Company and broke out a retired pack of Stampin' Up Going Wild Designer Series Paper (DSP-retired).
To make an A2 card I cut my card base (4.25"x 5.5").
I used Sahara Sand card stock from Stampin Up and scored to fold as a flip up card.
I used a piece of 6x6 DSP and trimmed to size and adhered it to my card base. (You can trim off more for a larger base border if you 'd like.)
You will want to create a smaller mat for your stamped image- shown here is 3.25"x 3.25".
You will also need a small stamp base- shown here is 3"x 3".
I also made a duck tailed flag for some flair.
I stamped my bear and sentiment using black Memento Ink- I find this ink best when using my alcohol markers.
I used Copic Sketch markers- for the bear stamp- it's hard to see but he has some vines under the ribbon to munch on too. (Colors used: YG17, YG67, R89, W00 and W3)
Once he was all colored I added him to the mat and placed on my card base.
I wanted to add a little color and since I colored his little heart red- I chose red.
I also added red Nuvo drops to the flag and under my stamp.
Fun Fact- Koalas sleep 18-20 hours a day!!
I hope you'll share your animal kingdom with us.
