Posted on July 25, 2023July 16, 2023 by Mo Rootes

I have made a lovely pelican on a post thank you card using the Waves of Inspiration stamp set and the Nested Essentials dies.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the pelican on a post card, you will need:

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Stargazing dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2½”
Scrap Basic White card

The panel of Stargazing designer series paper (dsp) was glued to one of the Basic White panels. A length of Tahitian Tide Metallic Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape.

I added it to the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using Pebbled Path ink, I stamped the pelican on a post onto the 4¼” by 2½” panel of Basic White card and die cut it out using the Nested Essentials dies. I coloured the pelicans bill in with a Pumpkin Pie Blends Pen. The die cut piece was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The trio of clouds from the Playing in the Rain stamp set were stamped in Tahitian Tide ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Playing in the Rain dies. They were added to the card front around the raised panel.
