Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my True North Beavers Card using ‘Canadian Beavers’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. This stamp is quintessentially Canadian, and I thought it would make a great Canada Day card!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the O Canada 2 cardstock. I have been waiting to use it since I bought it last summer! It’s perfect to celebrate Canada Day especially with the Eh! word bubbles! Lol! I also knew that I wanted to use the maple leaves and wood grain papers. So, I created a simple tryptic card front to layer my polaroid focal point.
The beavers were coloured with my Copic markers to match the papers. I made the parent beaver a little darker than the little beaver to help distinguish the two. I coloured their noses with a black gelly pen and used a white one to add highlights. Once they were coloured, I placed them into my polaroid frame that I die cut out. It’s like they are taking a selfie on Canada Day! Lol!
I added a die cut maple leaf at the base of the polaroid frame with a sentiment from the stickers. The stitched real red heart was die cut and layered with a heart with maple leaves from the ephemera pack to balance the sentiment. I trimmed down the True North piece from the ephemera pack and place it so that it was peeking out from my frame. Red rhinestones were the finishing touch adding some sparkle and tying in my red colour scheme.
