Catnaps - Honeypie ft. Polkadoodles

 

Hello everyone!  Hope your spring is going well.  It's still kind of cold and

rainy where I live...😞. Today I'm sharing a project made with products from

Catnaps - Honeypie Digital Stamp

Just Lovely - Honeypie Papers

Just Lovely Sentiments

I made an easel card today to show off Honeypie and her kitty.  It's not difficult

to make, so let me show you how I made my card!

I first composed and printed out my images onto white card stock.

Everything was separate.  I didn't do any layering.  I die cut my plaid

paper with a scalloped rectangle die.  I made a white A2 size top folding

card base and scored the front of it in half.  I cut my die cut plaid panel in half

and adhered one on either side of the fold on the front.

I also cut out my sentiment and backed it with a piece of the left over

plaid.  Next it was time to color my focal - Honeypie and her kitty!

Coloring is probably my most favorite part of card making!  And I

aways start with the face first.

The hair came next.  Often times I'll Google image "hair Copic

markers" for inspiration like I did here.  That gives me a 

jumping off point for the hair coloring.  And usually there is

a list of markers that were used.

I wanted to keep her clothing and hair scrunchies the same colors

as the plaid paper.  To give a little more interest to the scrunchies I

made a pattern with my markers.

I didn't go too wild with the coloring and it worked up quickly.  After

that, I fussy cut the image.

I printed out another sentiment and die cut it for the front of the

card.  To put this together I adhered the longer unmatted sentiment

to the front of the card with foam tape.  I die cut a small lavender

bow and adhered it above that sentiment.  I adhered Honeypie to just the 

front of my card, so that when it was popped up, you would see

her whole image.  I adhered the other sentiment that I had backed

with the plaid paper, inside the card with foam tape to act as a

stopper when the card was put upright.  I added a bit of shimmer with

a silver sparkle pen and added a few dots with a white gel pen.  Then I 

sprinkled a few tiny gems around Honeypie and one right in the

middle of the flower in her mug.  And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  So easy to make such a cute reminder

of how much you love and appreciate a close friend!  Supplies are listed below.  You can find
