Life's a Picnic Card by July Guest Designer Ildi Imrefalvi


The new picnic themed stamp sets were love for the first sight for me, I immediately knew
that these cuties would appear in one of my projects while guesting in July.

This time I decided to create a large sized card - 5,5 X 7 inch - with a bunch of colored
images. As a start I Copic colored and fussy cut images from the sets Woodland Picnic and
Newton’s Picnic. Plaid Stencil Set was perfect to create a blanket for my critters to sit on. I
applied red and blue distress inks onto a piece of white cardstock through stencil 1 and 2
and drew tassels on two sides with a black fineliner before cutting it around.

To create a super colorful woodland background I took my favorite pine trees from Winter
Memories and stamped them in a row with various colors of Memento inks making sure that
the trees are overlapping each other. Fussy cutting this 7 inch row of pine trees may take a
little time :).

For this busy and colorful scene I wanted to have a cloudy blue sky in story book style. So I
dabbed embossing ink through my Cloudy Sky Stencil onto a white piece of cardstock and heat set
with clear embossing powder. This way my clouds stayed white after applying blue distress
ink onto the whole surface.

Before assembling my card I white heat embossed my favorite sentiment from Woodland
Picnic stamp set onto the green card front as well as some ants heading to the picnic basket. I
adhered all the background elements with liquid glue while the stamped and colored images
got a little dimension with foam dots.
