Scenic card using Ellen Hutson Essential Shapes

Hello Lovelies,

Today I am sharing an easy yet impactful card featuring a scene made using Essentials by Ellen Essential shape dies. I love how this card turned out and hope you get to try it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Here is what you will need:

• Essentials by Ellen Essential Shapes (square, circles, ovals)
• Essentials by Ellen Rainbow Plushie Felt Die
• Essentials by Ellen Essential Shapes for Stitching (circle)
• Cardstock (white, light blue, 2 shades of yellow, 3 shades of green)
• Vellum
• Stickers (sentiment 1, sentiment 2, element)

Here are the steps:

1. Cut a 4.25 x 5.25 inch card base from white cardstock.
2. Cut a circle in the center with the 3.5 inch circle die and use a circle stitching die to cut a frame around it
3. Cut 2 ovals from one shade of green
4. Cut 2 squares each from the other two shades of green
5. Cut these squares in half diagonally
6. Cut the resulting halves so they have a flat base and form a triangle
7. For each mountain, take one dark green and one light green triangle. Use a pencil to outline the highlight as seen on the card on the lighter green cardstock and cut with a scissor.
8. Attach the light green piece to the dark green piece using one layer of foam tape.
9. Cut 2 clouds from vellum and cut them in half horizontally
10. Cut the sun using the two smallest circles from the die set and adhere to each other with foam tape.
11. Use pencil to lightly trace a circle on the center of the blue cardstock so you have an idea of how to place the pieces.
12. Adhere one vellum cloud to the blue background using double sided tape
13. Adhere the first mountain to the blue background in the center then place the other two mountains on top. Use foam tape for everything.
14. Adhere ovals to look like hills using foam tape
15. Adhere sun to white card front using glue or tape
16. Use small pieces of clear double sided tape to adhere vellum clouds on to the top layer
17. Adhere card front to card base.
18. Add stickers

Your card is complete.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!
