Tropical Greetings with Fabulous Feathered Friends

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Begin by gathering all of the supplies you'll need for today's project. Having everything ready before you begin makes the card come together quickly and easily. 

Step 2: Create the Layered Background

Die cut a piece of Tropical Teal Cardstock using the Distressed Edge Rectangle Craft Dies (3.75" x 4.25"). The distressed edge adds just the right amount of texture and creates a beautiful frame for the patterned paper. 

Step 3: Add the Patterned Paper

Trim a piece of plaid paper from the Perfectly Plaid Aqua Paper Pad to 3.5" x 4.25" and adhere it to the center of the teal die-cut panel, allowing the distressed edges to show above and below the patterned paper. Adhere the completed panel to a white A2 card base.

Stamp the image from the Feathered Friends Stamp Set, color it with Copic markers, and adhere it to the center of the plaid panel using foam tape for added dimension. 

Step 4: Stamp the Sentiment

Stamp the sentiment in black ink below the patterned paper toward the right side of the card. This placement balances the focal image while keeping the design clean and uncluttered. 

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches

Complete the card by adding a few Summer Fun Enamel Dots for a fun pop of color and a little extra shine. 

I hope you enjoyed today's project! The bright plaid paper paired with the adorable tropical flamingos makes for a cheerful card that's perfect for sending a smile. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you're inspired to create something fun with the new Kat Scrappiness release. 

Happy crafting!
