Clean and Simple Chameleon

Hello! It's Lauren here again with this easy, clean and simple Caffeinated Chameleon card. This little guy is one of favorite Caffeinated Critters yet! There is so much you can do with him!

For my card today, I chose to have him blend in with both the white background and the leaf circle.

Creating the leaf circle was my first step in making this card. Using a circle die from my stash, I die cut a circle out of a piece of regular copy paper.

I then positioned the circle over a white 4.25" x 5.5" cardstock panel and adhered it down using washi tape.

Then over the circle, I adhered the Amanda stencil down.

With the stencil secure, I blended Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink over the stencil. I made sure to ink the whole circle area. Then I carefully removed both the stencil and the copy paper from the white cardstock panel.

Next, I stamped the chameleon in black ink on a separate piece of white cardstock. I positioned the paper with the chameleon over the panel with the leaf circle where I wanted the colored chameleon to end up. Then I lined up the copy paper circle over the chameleon and the circle on the cardstock. I used Prisma color pencils to color part of the chameleon that showed through the circle green to match the leaves.

I then die cut him out using the matching Caffeinated Chameleon die. Then used colored pencils to add shading to the rest of the chameleon and also color the mug blue.

Before adhering my chameleon on the panel, I trimmed the panel down using a wonky stitched rectangle die from my stash. I then lined up the green curve of my chameleon with the leaf circle and adhered him on.

To create my sentiment, I stamped the #caffeineismycamo in Versamark ink onto black cardstock. I them covered it with white embossing powder, shook off the excess and heat set it. I trimmed the sentiment down and adhered it above the circle.
