Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Melon Mambo Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Polished Pink Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 4" of lines of dark pink arrows on light pink background design from Enjoy The Journey 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the lines are horizontal on the horizontal rectangle
- 2-5/8 x 3-7/8" from Melon Mambo Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" square from Melon Mambo Cardstock
- 2-1/2" square from Basic White Cardstock
Mount the long, skinny sentiment of choice from the Eden's Garden Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Melon Mambo Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment in the lower right corner of the vertical Polished Pink rectangle as close to the bottom and right edges as possible.
Adhere the strip of Enjoy The Journey Designer Paper to the stamped, vertical Polished Pink rectangle so it is about 1-1/2" from the top.
Adhere the stamped Polished Pink rectangle with designer paper attached to the front of the Melon Mambo card.
Mount the steps, doorway, and wall image from the In The Country Cling Stamp Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Saddle Brown StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it on the large, vertical white rectangle so it is centered. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the steps, doorway, and wall image on Block E with the Saddle Brown StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white square so you get the top of the image near the center of the square.
Mount the stamped, large, vertical white rectangle to the center of the large, vertical, Melon Mambo rectangle.
Adhere the matted image to the front of the card so it is centered over the designer paper on the left side and is about 1/2" from the top and left sides of the card.
Pick out the smooth circle die from the Layering Circles Dies that cuts out a smooth circle that is 1-3/8" in diameter. Put it on top of the stamped door image square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so you cut out the top of the door and the pots at the top of the stairs and a bit of the sky on the right. Run through the machine.
Pick out the scalloped circle die from the Layering Circles Dies that cuts out a scalloped circle that is 1-1/2" in diameter. Put it on top of the small Melon Mambo square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Use the pencils from the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1 to color in the small image circle.
- Use Bermuda Bay to color in the bit of sky on the right side.
- Use Melon Mambo to color in the door.
- Use Early Espresso to darken the shadows and cracks.
- Use Pumpkin Pie with a light touch to color in the walls.
- Use Calypso Coral to color in the flower pots.
- Use Old Olive to color in the plants.
Adhere the colored image circle cut out to the center of the scalloped Melon Mambo circle cut out.
Adhere the matted, colored circle image to the front of the card over the image stamped on the white rectangle so all the lines match up as much as possible.
