Llama Love with Flora and Fauna

Hey, crafty friends! Laurie here, to share a card I made using some fabulous products from Flora & Fauna!! This is a fairly new company on the stamping scene and has become a favourite of mine!  The images are beautiful, whimsical, cut and above all else, super unique!!  As I was working on todays card, I noticed how well you can mix and match different sets. All the images are scaled to work together. This is fantastic because the possibilities are endless when everything works together.

I decided to make a birthday card using the Llama Love Stamp Set.  I stamped a bunch of the images and used my Copic markers to colour them. This set does not have co-ordinating dies but the images are really easy to fussy cut.

I created a little circle scene using dies from the Nesting Circle Infinity Dies from Hero Arts. I used Tumbled Glass and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks to add some colour to the circle. So, this is where the scale of the images from each stamp set come into play.  The cake on the llama’s back is from the Woodland Birthday Stamp Set. It fits perfectly on that llama!! The sentiment is from that stamp set, as well.

I adhered all my images to the ink blended circle using a combination of Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and foam adhesive squares. I decided to mat my scene onto a slightly larger, white circle to help it stand out from the kraft card base.  Before adhering my little scene, I used Versmark Ink and the “mountain” images from the Llama Love stamp set to create a patterned background. To give those a little shine, I used clear embossing powder.

I added Glossy Accents to the cake, the blanket on his back and the flowers on the cacti to add a bit of shine!!

And that’s my card for today!! I hope you have some Flora and Fauna in your stash. If not, the SNS store has an incredible variety to choose from, including dies!!!
