I needed a birthday card for a fisherman, so I used a stenciled background I had previously made along with some cute fish stamps and Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set and coordinating dies.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I used a purchased A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) blue cardbase. (Note that I made multiples of this basic card with the stenciled front panel and die cut letters.)

Stenciling and Fish: For the card front, I used a 4.25×5.5-inch rectangle of 65 lb. white cardstock and stenciled the lines using Spellbinders’ Dynamic Backgrounds stencil and Spectrum Noir Shimmer inks. The fish stamps are Paper Rose Studio – Fish Family 1 and Fish Family 2. They are colored with glitter brush markers.

Sentiments: The Front sentiment is die cut using the coordinating dies from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set. The inside sentiments come from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set as does the envelope’s sentiment.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope.
