A card in honor of all the skunks that visit my gardens during the dead of night. They don't know it, but I'm capturing them on my infrared video camera!
Card size: 6.5" tall x 5.5" wide
Front Sentiment: "Just Standing Here..."
Inside Sentiment: "Stinking of You!"
I made the card base from black cardstock and layered it with a piece of hot pink cardstock. The pink swirl diagonal paper I made using the shaving cream method and india inks on white cardstock. I matted this diagonal strip with black cardstock before affixing it to the card.
For the focal point I stamped the skunk image on white cardstock and colored him using gamsol and colored pencils. I matted the completed image with hot pink and black cardstocks and then glued it in position.
I printed the front sentiment on white cardstock and used a circle cutter to cut it out. I matted it with hot pink and black cardstocks and affixed it in position with foam dimensionals so that it is raised above the surface of the card face.
As a final touch I added three black buttons.
The inside panel is white cardstock matted on hot pink cardstock. It is embellished with a strip of my pink swirl cardstock that I matted on black and hot pink cardstocks.
I also made an envelope from heavy cover stock to compliment the card and embellished the lower left corner.
