Happy Friday! Today I am here with my contribution to the Imagine That Digistamp September progressive challenge. One of the images we got is this meerkat popping out of his hole with a gift. I decided since his outline was not that complicated, I would give merging two cut files, one for the background and one for the digi, together to create one panel another try.
And this time, I got it right. The panel cut as one piece (except for the little star outlines on the right that had nothing to hold on to and so I had to place them onto my card front manually). But those around the digi are all one piece with the frame. I printed the digi onto Canson C’ a Grain Drawing paper and after cutting him out, I colored him with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I used a gold glitter gel pen to color the big bow on the gift. Usually I color and then cut, but since this was still very much an experiment, I did not want to cut after coloring on this one.
Once colored, I glued the panel down onto a piece of green foil cardstock and adhered it to a white notecard base. The sentiment is a very old wooden stamp that I stamped in Versafine ink and cut out with a Hero Arts Infinity oval. I cut two more ovals and glued them together to stack them for dimension.
I have a pencil color chart for you to download again. Please just follow my blog before downloading.

Wow, how cute is that! Adorable card.
Again, the cut file master at work, although in my ignorance I really don't see your insistence on one layer, I know you've explained, just don't share the desire. I admire your tenacity with seeing what this machine can do for you, though, always! And another pretty Christmas card done to boot – Yay! xoxo
