Boys Dinosaur Card

Hello Crafting Buddies,

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I have finally got around to making a card out of my new stamps. Today I'm sharing a boys card. Little boys usually go through a phase of Dinosaur Mania. it's when they cant get enough of them and everything has to be dinosaur related.

In respect of that I have made a birthday card of dinosaurs. I used Newton's Nook Prehistoric Pals stamp set. and coloured my images using my Promarker's. I used the lightest shade first over the whole image then go over it with the darker shade, then use the lighter one to help blend it. I usually use only two different colours but with bigger images I use three.

After cutting out my images I went round the outside edge with my Memento duel marker pen to give it a finished look. and there were no white lines showing. I then cut out a strip of green patterned paper and used my tape runner to stick it to the bottom of my card. 

I thought the card looked a bit bare with just two dinosaurs on it so I used Lawn Fawn Critters in the forest stamp set and used the tree. I put it behind the blue dinosaur as there was already a green dinosaur and I didn't want it to blend in. I used my tape runner on the tree and stuck it straight on the card. I used foam adhesive on the dinosaurs to make them pop from the card.

For the sentiment I used an old one that I bought when I first started making cards. There's still a lot to use and I'm getting through them slowly.

I used a blending tool and broken china distress ink around the edges of the card to tie everything together as i chose a cream card as my base it looked a little off and the distress ink made it look better.

I really like the way this card turned out. It's a fun boy card and quite easy to make. the only time consuming bit is the colouring and the cutting out. I don't mind those bits anyway.


Please Leave a comment if you like my card (or if you don't as all comments are welcome) I will be happy to hear from you.
