Hello Pink and Main friends. It’s Donna here from donnaisplayingpaper. I have a sweet Valentine’s Day card for you today. I know that dinosaurs are usually used on little boy cards, but these two meeting in front of the bricks behind the building are, I suspect, a little older than that!
To create the brick wall background, I used the smallest of the Mod Stitched Rectangle Dies, and cut several of these from white card. I mounted these onto a Kraft coloured card, offsetting the rectangles to give the appearance of a brick wall. You do need to suspend all sense of proportion, because the bricks are the height of half a dinosaur, but photo realism wasn’t my aim here!
I stamped several small sentiments from a couple of stamp sets onto the bricks to resemble graffiti. These sets were Little Cherubs, and Rawr. I used black and a little orange ink, and I lined up the ‘Rawr’ speech bubble with one of the dinosaur heads.
The dinosaurs are from the Rawr stamp set. This set has dinosaurs in several sizes (so I could have made a better size match, but I fell in love with this sweet pair) I stamped these and coloured them with Copic markers. The colours I used were YR68, 65 & 61, for the oranges, and G99, YG67, 25 and 23 for the greens. I cut the images using the matching dies.
I popped the dinosaurs up with foam tape, and the card was done! I think this makes a lovely change from my usual red and pink for Valentines. I hope you’ve enjoyed this fun little card, and that you are staying safe and well wherever you are.
Until next time, may your dinosaurs all be pint sized.
Blessings,
Adorable card!
Have a great day!
