I started by stamping the name at the bottom of the main panel. (That's where I usually mess it up so I figured I would start with that and of course it turned out fine the first time.) Then I stamped the leaves down the side of the panel then the veins. I stamped the dinosaur on a small panel beginning with a crumb cake base that I dabbed some green onto with my finger. Then stamped the bones and the sentiment. I mounted the small panel onto a longer blue one to make room for the ribbon. This panel was adhered over the main panel with the name on it. I drew with marker the outline around the main panel to simulate the layering without adding bulk.

Wow you are courageous to draw the line around the bottom panel. It looks perfect. I thought it was a layer of blue cardstock. Your grandson is going to love this card.

Yes, what Sharon said, you'll never be at a loss when we do X! I really like the blue and green... always loved those colors together. I love the ribbon, how it has the white stitching! Very cool!

Fabulous! Your grandson will LOVE this card! I love how you stamped the huge leaves on the background paper and I love the touch of ribbon on the image panel. This is a great card for the X Alphabet challenge! ~Karen.
