Yay! The Heffy Doodle new release is online and waiting for your pre-orders!

First of all, I die cut the Leafy Laurel Circle dies from two different green cardstocks and glued them together, then I splattered it with Gansai Tambi gold watercolor and set it aside to dry. In the meantime, I used the Woodgrain Texture Background die on a piece of cream cardstock and splattered it with the same gold watercolor.

I stamped the two toucans from the Two by Two Safari Animals stamp set on Copic friendly cardstock and color them using Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out, but when I later placed them over the garland I realized that I didn't like the white border effect against the die cut background so I ended up fussy cut them.

At this point I die cut the Go Wild A2 Frame dies script from orange cardstock and I made highlights with a white gel pen. I also used the flower dies from the same set on different bright cardstocks and glued the little centers using different colors. I thought it would be cool to use one of the flowers below the exclamation point so I choose an orange one and made highligts on it to match the rest of the sentiment.

I was now ready to assemble the card! First I placed the garland in the middle of the square base, then I place all the other elements using glue or foam squares. I finally created a slightly bigger green card base that I splattered with green watercolor and glued the card panel over it.

Don't forget that you can already pre-order all the beauties you've seen in my card and many more!

I hope you enjoyed my project and see you soon!
Happy crafting.
