Autism Awareness Day Blog Hop - SPD Handmade Card

Hello everyone! 

I hope you're having a beautiful day! 

Today I am thrilled to be a part of a fantastic group of designers as we do our part in spreading Autism Awareness to our crafting community. SugarPea Designs is a sponsor of this hop which is hosted by Veronica Zalis.

 

Please be sure to visit the SugarPea Designs Blog for a look at some of the fantastic cards for today's hop!

For today's card I used the "Otterly Adorable" stamp set, along with it's coordinating SugarCut – Otterly Adorable die set and the awesome "Large Striped Cover Plate" die.




I don't know about you, but I'm in love with these cute otters! And the striped cover plate is perfect to create a focal point on your card.

I started my card by creating a background using Distress Inks, a mini spray with clean water and a pinch of Perfect Pearls. I smooshed the inks directly on the cardstock and sprayed the entire panel with water. After the panel dried I die cut it using the "Large Striped Cover Plate" die and then I run the die through my Big Shot machine again this time die cutting a white panel.

Next I glued the inked background die cut piece on a white card base and glued all the parts from my white die cut inside the empty spaces.

Then I stamped the images, colored these cuties with Spectrum Noir markers and die cut them using the coordinating dies.

I mounted the images on the white oval and added a sentiment (next to the images) stamped on a white banner.

I glued a few clear sequins and my card was done.
