MFT 2021 Card Design Superstar Challenge ~ Innovative Master

 Hello.  Gaylynn here.  Today's card was made exclusively for the My Favorite Things 2021 Card Design Superstar Challenge in the category of Innovative Master.

Sentiment:

I will always be here for you.

This sweet slimline card was made using the wonderful slimline die-namics, including the Slide In coordinating dies.  This allows for a fun slider tag card with a pull tab.  It makes a great tag element, slimline style.  For this card, I used the sweet elephants on the front and on the inside.  For the front, I used Copic markers in soft colors.  And for the background gray panel, I heat embossed an elephant, balloon and butterflies in white.  For a hint of color, I added touches of color pencils in blue and gray shades for the inside.  These two panels were placed over the slimline card base.

This white card base was cut at 8 1/2" x 7" and scored at 3 1/2".

Here is another look when the slider panel was pulled upward.

Helpful tips:

These are helpful tips to heat emboss on vellum & brick stenciling in Autumn colors.  To begin, stamp the sunflower three times using embossing ink and then heat emboss them in white.  Also, fussy cut (cut out) each sunflower.  Then, die-cut a slimline card base and a background panel.  Next, make a background using a stencil along with ink blending.  I used a brick stencil with ink in Fall shades.  Then, stamp and trim a sentiment panel and the tiny bees.  Also, add a bit of color in yellow and orange to the bees.  Finally, layer the sunflowers, embellishments and panels, to finish.  
This slimline card base is 7" x 8 1/2" and scored at 3 1/2".
