A pattern for fun

I am flattered to be invited to return to the design team this round and hope I provide lots of inspiration for your creative mojo. This card features the Sweet Pea plates number 7 and 5. It is pretty simple to make with just a few supplies, including your pc and printer.

Supplies:

Sweet Pea Plate #7
Sweet Pea Plate #5
Black Brilliance Ink Pad (Tsukineko)
White Card Stock (Unknown)
Solid Green Card Stock (s.e.i.)
Patterned Card Stock (Basic Grey)
Water Color Pencils (Stampin' Up)
Blender Pen (Stampin' Up)
Adhesive (Terrifically Tacky)
Mod Podge (Plaid)
Scissors
Computer
Printer
Paper Trimmer

Instructions:

1. Stamp the straight legged girl image on white card stock twice, leaving space between them.

2. Of the two stamped images choose the better and set aside. Trim the remaining image out for a mask.

3. Position the mask over the image and stamp the remaining image about .5 - .75" above and to the right of the first image, overlapping about .5".

4. Color in the images with the water color pencils and blend the colors with the blender pen. Trim the images out neatly.

5. Cut a piece of white card stock out that is 3" x 4.25", a piece of patterned paper out that is 3.25" x 4.5" and the solid paper to 5.5" x 8.5" and fold in half to create the card.

6. Using the computer and a word processing or image software, create a "pattern envelope" adding the name of the line and additional information.

7. Print a sample of the computer generated background on a full sheet of paper to verify size and positioning on the paper.

8. Using a small piece of adhesive, overlay the white card stock on top of the printed area of the test page and adhere. Position this in the printer tray so that the card stock will receive the printed information and print.

9. Adhere the stamped images to the front of the pattern with Mod Podge.

10. Mat the pattern to the patterned paper with double sided tape.

11. Using the text stamps, stamp "Girls just want to have fun." along three edges of the card front and "Just a note," at the lower right hand corner of the card front.

12. Adhere the matted image to the card front at an angle, positioning between the stamped sentiments.

13. Enjoy sharing!
