I put some of the ADORABLE new dies in this release to use, and created this sweet little trio of cards - the cuteness is just too much!
I started off by die cutting and assembling the adorable Fable Lion, Fable Elephant, and Fable Giraffe dies using a variety of different cardstock colors, and doing a bit of ink blending on the pieces to add some extra dimension. Cardstocks and inks are all listed below! I also die cut and created windows and layered frames using the new A2 Notched Rectangles dies and Sparkler Scallop Frames. The frame around the window is white glitter cardstock, and I tucked some pattern paper behind from Carta Bella Lemonade 6x6 paper pad. I added sentiments from the new Classic Friendship stamp and die set, heat embossed in gold, and then added coordinating gems in opposing corners of each card. Finished off with a few white gel pen dots on the cheeks (that also had a bit of soft pink inking on them) and coordinating bows from Prima yarn. Here are lots more photos, and closer images of each of these adorable critters!
