Stamping Platform

Notes:

• Here's some information from Wikipedia about the Hamsa. 

"The hand, particularly the open right hand, is a sign of protection that also represents blessings, power and strength, and is seen as potent in deflecting the evil eye.The hand can be depicted with the fingers spread apart to ward off evil, or as closed together to bring good luck".

• I like to use A10 cards for most of my slimline cards. They measure 9.5" x 4.125". 

 Instructions: 

1. Cut a piece of Raven (black) cardstock to 9.125" x 8.25". Score at 4.125" and fold to form a 9.125" x 4.125" card. Set aside.
2. Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp all three Hamsas from the ATC Hamsa Hands Rubber Stamp Set onto white cardstock.
3. Fussy-cut them, color them with Copic markers, and edge them with a dark marker. Set them aside.
4. Trim the sheet of 12x12 floral/solid-ish patterned paper from the Kaleidoscope Collection to 8.875"" wide.
5. Cut one piece to 8.875" x 3.875"and a second one to 8.25" x 3.25". Edge both piece with a black marker. 
6. Adhere the smaller sheet of patterned paper panel solid-ish side up onto the larger sheet of floral paper.
7. The layered papers then were adhered to the reserved black card.
8. Adhere the fussy-cut colored hamsas  to the card front as shown.
9. Adhere gold foil sentiments and corner stickers to complete the card.
