My card started in Silhouette Studio. I opened the digital image and sentiment and sized them to fit on a 6" square card based on a sketch (details and link below). I "sliced" the sentiment in half, so that I could stagger it on the sides of the image panel. I printed the image and sentiment panels on X-Press It blending card, heat set, coloured with Copic markers and trimmed to size. I had some sprinkles patterned paper in mind for this card and do you think I could find it? Next best thing was to use a digital version, so I printed a square panel on textured cardstock and trimmed down to 5 3/4". I cut a 6" x 12" cardstock strip, scored at 6" and created the 6" card base. I cut two 1" strips from the same cardstock for the sentiments. The image panel was adhered to the same cardstock then trimmed to a 1/8" mat using a Perfect Layers ruler. I used liquid adhesive to secure all the layers on the card base.

I finished off the card by colouring some clear rhinestones with Copic markers to match the image panel, adding several layers to build up the colour, with darker shades around the edges.
