Think About Color Thursday - Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White

The Animal Crackers stamp set is showcased today with this absolutely darling "you quack me up" stamp.

The supplies I used for this card are:
stamp sets:  Sprinkles, Animal Crackers
inks:  Classic Stampin' Pad - Basic Black; Stampin' Write markers - Yoyo Yellow, Pretty in Pink, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie
cs:  Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi (welcome back, Wasabi!)
dsp:  Wild Wasabi Patterns (it is retired, but we're bringing it back to life!)
Punches:  Circle - 1 3/8" & 1 3/4", scallop circle, key tag, horizontal slot
other:  Pretty in Pink 5/8" Satin Ribbon

Here's how to make this card:

1.  Stamp the "quack me up" image onto Whisper White cs.  Stamp Sprinkles stamp around the duck, stamping off the paper. The little sprinkles are where I will add the colors of the week - the focal point doesn't necessarily have to carry a color combination.

2.  Punch out the duck image with the 1 3/8" circle punch.  Layer it onto a punched Pretty in Pink scallop circle, and then onto a Wild Wasabi 1 3/4" punched circle.

3.  Now you may be wondering about the large white circle that lies just behind the Wild Wasabi layer.  It is actually created from 4 key tags punched from Whisper White cs and then adhered as a circle layer.  Here's how it is done:

I hope you can see in this photo the overlapping of the four key tag punched pieces.  When this key tag circle is stacked in a layer, it looks sort of 3D!

4.  Cut Pretty in Pink cs 1/4" smaller than the card front & adhere it onto the Whisper White card.

5.  Layer a strip of Wild Wasabi Patterns prints dsp down the middle of the card front.

6.  Punch a horizontal slot into the fold of the card - just slide the punch not even halfway into the fold & punch.  Since the ribbon I used is a bit wider than the slot punch, slide the punch over on the fold & punch again, aligning the punch with the slot you already punched.  The slot will be almost double the width!  It gives you a slot into which you can now insert the ribbon & tie it around the card.  Make sure you leave space to get the duck situated.

7.  The last thing to do is adhere the duck piece with dimensionals.

Have a great day!
