Now, let's talk about the card:

CARD MEASUREMENTS:

• Card Base: 8 x 9" Score: 4" (Calypso Coral Cardstock)
• Layer 1: DSP (Cobblestone Pattern): 3-3/4 x 8-3/4"
• 3 Shops Fussy Cut from DSP
• 2 Fussy Cut Potted Plants from DSP
• 2 Die Cut Street Lamps
• 1 Die Cut Nested Essentials 1-1/2 x 2-1/8" Stitched Rectangle with Rounded Edges (Basic Black Cardstock)
• 1 Die Cut Nested Essentials 1 x 1-3/4" Stitched Rectangle with Rounded Edges (Basic White Cardstock)
• 2 Wild Wheat Dots (from 2023-2025 In Color Dots)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Fussy cut the desired shops from Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. Fussy cut a couple of potted plants. Die cut lamp posts. Die cut sentiment and layering piece from Nested Essentials dies.

Stamp "Wish you were here" in Calypso Coral ink onto the sentiment die cut in white.

Create a light shadow behind your shops on the cobblestone pattern DSP with a Small Blending Brush and a gray or black ink. Tap off ink from blending brush before swirling onto the DSP to soften the look. Place your shadow at top or side of each shop.

Glue the DSP to card base. Assemble your scene of shops and lamps. Once you have your layout, add dimensionals to shops. I used glue dots to adhere lamp posts.

Place sentiment above one of the shops where it fits depending on your scene.

Add Wild Wheat dots to create the look of a glowing bulb inside the lamp posts.

NOTE: I recommend adding an insert in Basic White to the inside of the card as well. 3-3/4 x 8-3/4"

I hope you enjoyed today's card project!

Happy Crafting!
