Honeypie Spring Lambs w/Polkadoodles

 

Hello everyone!  Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the start to the

summer months!  Today I'm sharing this adorable card made with products from

Polkadoodles

Honeypie Spring Lambs Digital Stamp

This is such an adorable image and who doesn't need a hug from some sheep!

Let me show you how I made my card and rolled with some mistakes along

the way!  Like any digital stamp, I first sized it and printed it out.

Keep in mind that I printed this out a few days ahead of time and totally

forgot that I printed it again on the other side after sizing it smaller.  I

started my coloring knowing that I wanted to use a round scallop border

die when it was done.

I basically started with all of the neutral bits - the sheep, her shoes, skin

and hair.

I liked how this was shaping up!

Before I went further, I needed to chose some patterned paper for the

background, as I wanted to color match the rest of the design to it.  I

chose my patterned paper...

I found my paper and also found my smaller version on the back of this

colored one....so I printed out the smaller image again and then continued.  

I liked the soft peaches and pinks in the green background paper so I used

 that for inspiration.

Copic colors used:  W0, W1, W2, W3, W5, W7, E31, E33, E35, E37,

E00, E11, E23, E25, E21, E93, E97, E18, RV00, RV02, G21, R00. G12

So I thought I could get away with using a warmer green tone for the

shading on her hat...nope...so I went back in with truer greens that

show in the final photos.  Once the coloring was done I die cut the

image with a round scalloped die.

I loved how the paper looked behind the image, but I had doubts about

using just that paper for the background...it seemed a bit busy.  So I cut

a 2" wide strip of it with a fancy scallop border die.  And I decided to

use a pale pink for the card base and main background piece.  I cut an

A2 size top folding card base, and then embossed a panel of the same

color that is 4" x 5 1/4".  I used a 3-D floral embossing folder on that smaller

panel.  I also die cut a sentiment from light green glitter card stock.

For added sparkle I used Stickles on the flowers and butterflies and

added some small gems around the image.  I adhered everything together using

foam tape on the center focal.  And my card was done!

I hope you enjoyed todays tutorial.  This is such an adorable sweet image.
