Hello friends! We’re halfway through the MFT December Release Countdown! I have a fun slimline card to share with you today that features the new Sweet Safari Stamp Set combined with the new Critter Caravan Die-namics.
I started by cutting a piece of smooth white card stock to 3.75″ x 8.75″ and blending the top portion with some Picked Raspberry, Tattered Rose, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks. I used a #4 round paintbrush and splattered this area with diluted Opaque White Paint as well as some diluted dark pink watercolor paint for added interest.
I stamped all of my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored them with Copic Sketch Markers, and used the coordinating die-namics to cut them out.

This is adorable! I love that caravan vehicle and the critter that looks like he’s jumping up in excitement. This set is so cute! My daughter would LOVE the giraffe! You did a fabulous job coloring and ink blending that beautiful sky. Always impressed with your cards, Rachel. 🙂
Hi, Rachel – This is a perfect card for “no occasion.” I send a lot of cards of this sort to people (mostly elderly) in my church just to say “hi” and give them something that is not a bill or junk mail, plus let them know that someone is thinking of them. I love your design. I tend to make more cards in the winter and the summer (I’m a teacher, so I have more time in the summers).
Holiday blessings to you and yours.
I just love the nontraditional sky color! It really makes your card pop!
