Wow ... April was incredibly fassst! So May is here folks, and I've come to enable your grocery list. Why? In 3 more days, it will be Cinco de Mayo! I won't be in Texas that day, but I know the same fun foods can be found up in OK. I'll admit that one of my favorite snacks is guacamole ... sincerely. How about you?
For the fun angle on the white layer, I first cut card stock to the same 4.25" width as the top-fold card. Then I drew very light pencil lines to create the angle for trimming in my paper cutter. For the green texture paste, I put a small amount of white embossing paste onto a large stamp block, then added a couple of drops of ink refill. Once thoroughly mixed, it was ready to be spread across the stencil with a plastic palette spatula. So easy! Tex's Tip: Just remember, it's easier to wash texture pastes from your tools & stencils before it dries.
The only change I made to the sketch was adding a monotone circle frame around the sentiment on both the front and the inside.
To create the angular shape on the inside, I laid 2 scrap pieces of paper across the bottom part of the inside. After laying the Happy Dots stencil atop the paper masks, I inked the small masked area with a Clarity brush. This fun Happy Dots stencil is from A Colorful Life Designs, while all of the cute are from the same Darcie's stamp set, 'Holy Guacamole'. Use code BevFan10 for a 10% discount on your stencils!

What a great card! I just love the avocado and the punny sentiments! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit - an avocado would not have occurred to me as the shape on the sketch! I love it! And it's wonderful how you carried the theme to the inside. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Bev!!!Your avocado pit/stone (what do they call that?) is colored to perfection to the point that it looks real! Fabulous and so timely for Cinqo de Mayo! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches! Hugs!
