Map It Monday - Olive Elements

The card and card map this week.........

take advantage of that amazing stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog called Elements of Style

I have used the fantastic Lattic Bigz Die.  The Old Olive lattice is adhered to the card using the 2-way Glue Pen.  

One way to get the splattered look, as this card has on the top section with the Sahara Sand bird, is to apply the splatter with a Color Spritzer tool.  If you don't have that tool, you could try a stiff paintbrush and either a very juicy inkpad or a dab of reinker.  Just pick up the color, set the card into a deep box or Color Catcher, then separate the bristles with your finger to splash some of the ink onto the cardstock. 

The message is stamped and then punched with the Modern Label punch.  A second Modern Label is punched from Old Olive cs as a "shadow" and layered underneath the Whisper White label.  Dimensionals give it a lift. 

Corner rounding the corners on this cards also softens it a bit.
