Hello everyone! This month I am so excited to be guest designing for
Whimsy Stamps! Their stamps are wonderful. I will be showcasing
their digital stamps! For my first project I've chosen:
This stamp set is so adorable! Let me show you how I made my card.
I first sized the design in the computer. I also composed my sentiment,
which is not included in this stamp set. I used a font from
Dafont.com to type my sentiment. These are free fonts to download.
I printed this out onto Neenah 80lb. Classic Crest Solar White card
stock. I wanted to use my Copic markers to color up these cuties!
I started my coloring with the little penguin.
These are so cute to color. Next I moved onto Ellie.
I decided Ellie needed a cute little pink hat!
I moved onto the giraffe. I decided not to bring in another
color to the palette, so I made a checkered design in the
scarf using the 2 colors I had already used. I did this with pencil, then
colored, then went over my pencil lines with a Copic Multiliner.
Copic markers used:
R00, W0, W1, W2, W3, W5, C5, C7, 100
RV000, RV10, RV55, RV66, RV19, E49
Y06, Y17, YR04, BG0000, BG01, BG04, BG05
BG07, BG10, YR21, YR24, Blender
Once the coloring was done, I fussy cut the image.
I prepared my A2 size top folding white card base by
covering it with a white pearl embossed paper. This
panel measures 4 1/8" x 5 3/8". I also added a 1" strip
of embossed silver card stock across the bottom.
For my sentiment, I fussy cut the sentiment around the black
frame leaving just a tiny bit of a white border. I lightly colored each end
with the BG0000 marker just to give it some color and definition.
The letters were black so I took out one of my Iuile Watercolor Dot Cards
and painted the letters. I was not fussy with this and I did not try
to make the paint go to the edges of the letters.
I used the denim for my letters. Time to put my card together!
I took the animal image and tucked it just underneath the silver
strip on the bottom...I adhered it flat to the card. I adhered the
sentiment panel to the top.
I adhered some snowflake sequins here and there and decided to
put a gem in the middle of each one to make them stand out a bit more.
I also took my white gel pen and made a small pattern on Ellie's
hat and a striped design on the penguin's hat! As a last bit of
embellishment, I used Fall Snow Glitter Glaze on Ellie's hat pompom
and also the penguin's pompom. For the giraffe, I put some right on
the tips of her horns!...this just adds a bit more sparkle! And that finished
this sweet winter card featuring Ellie and her friends!
