Ellie Jungle Bell Trio with Whimsy Stamps

 

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:

Whimsy Stamps

Ellie Jungle Bell Trio

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!

I hope you've enjoyed today tutorial!  Whimsy Stamps carries a wide
