Growing in Unity - Card-making/Rubberstamping

My other side gig is volunteering as a transport driver for wildlife.Baby season is upon us now and I get an increase of calls for sick, injured, or orphaned animals that need help and they help to get there. When I saw this stamp for the first time, I knew I had to have it. The fawn and the bunny play an important part of my spring every year. It is called "Nestled Hearts."

For this stamp I used a brown ink as the base color because fawns, bunnies, and the nest are all primarily brown in real life. 

 

I added colors to the floral pieces and a little darker brown to define the animals a little more using colored pencils.

 I chose a nested die set and picked Three sizes --

The smallest of the dies I used to cut the image. Next I cut a colored pieces of paper to be a border, I chose light pink.  The third size is for the card base. I picked the size closest to A2 (4.25 x 5.5 inches) and cut 2 of those. 

I glued the image piece to the top of the pink piece.

I scored one of the card base pieces at 1/2" from the top. 

 I added glue to the top part above the score line and placed the other piece of the same size on it. This is not our card base.

 I adhered the pink piece with the image piece to the top of the card base and added a few sequins for sparkle. 

I decided that I didn't want any sentiment on the card front.I chose a quote from a sheet from Unity Stamp Company to add to the inside of the card. All of these on the sheet go perfectly with it.

 

Check out the supply list below for all that I used to make this card.
