For my blog hop project, I paired the new Construction Addition Stamp Set<\/a> and the coordinating dies<\/a> with the new City Buildings Dies<\/a> for a fun construction zone scene. I loved creating this little scene, and it was fairly quick and easy to put together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I created the background by inking a 4 1\/4 x 5 1\/2 inch card panel with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink. Then, I die cut the City Buildings<\/a> from brown cardstock and the street from black cardstock. I die cut the backer piece for the buildings twice, once from white cardstock and once from light gray cardstock. I secured the white piece behind the brown City Buildings and then layered everything with the gray die cut, slightly offsetting it, to create a dimensional highlight to the buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I stamped the images from the Construction Addition<\/a> set with black ink. Then, before die cutting them with the coordinating dies, I colored the images with Copic markers. I’ll list all the colors down below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I die cut the text from the new For You Shadow Die<\/a> from white cardstock a couple of times, stacked them, and then colored the sentiment with a coordinating Copic marker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, before assembling my scene card, I heat embossed some sentiments with white embossing powder. I chose a couple of sentiments from the Sentiment Strips: Birthday Stamp Set<\/a> for the background and one sentiment from the Construction Addition Stamp Set to put on the street die cut. Then, before attaching the stamped images with foam squares, I attached the City Buildings and the street to the background panel. I added “clouds” to the sky by die cutting the tiny dirt mound intended to fill the bucket on the new Big Excavator Die Set<\/a> a few times and then attached the For You sentiment to finish up my card design..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
