You Croc My World.

Hello! I am back again with another card, this time I took inspiration from the lovely card_days_night on Instagram. You can see their creation here - https://www.instagram.com/p/CZjg32aggKb/?igsh=eHRubDdmYWt1anoy

Now to get into the card. I chose to work with LawnFawn stamps again here and I love how it turned out for me, a newbie!

Here is what I used:

• white card stock
• Distress Oxide ink pads in salvaged Petina, Unchartered mariner, znd peacock feathers. Amazon UK
• Versafine ink in nocturne. - Amazon UK
• Lawnfawn - Quilted heart backdrop in Landscape - Bumbleberrys
• stitch circle cut out dies - Amazon UK
• You croc my world stamps and dies - Bumbleberrys
• sizzex big shot plus - Craftstash
• blending brushes - Amazon UK
• stamping platform - Amazon UK
• Sanjoki alcohol markers in 56,47 and 54 for the croc - 15 and 16 for the hearts - Amazon UK
• 3D foam - Amazon UK
• PVA glue - Amazon UK
• Glue tape - Amazon UK

First of all, I used a white piece of card and cut it down so it was 3/4 of an inch longer on each side of the quilted heart backdrop. 

I then used the three distress inks with the lighter tone in the middle and the darkest on the outside, I blended them all together.

Whilst the card was drying I cut out the quilted heart backdrop and stitched circle using my Sizzex machine, and stamped coloured and cut out my croc your world pieces.

I then used pva glue to glue down the quilted heart backdrop onto the card, then the same with the stitched circle. I used 3D foam tape for the croc, hearts and text. Nice and simple but it looks so pretty!

Let me know if you have made a card like this or if you re-create it. I would love to see!
