Kick Some Grass and Smile

Hey everyone!  Angela back with a fun card featuring the digital image Kick Some Grass.

I just love these bunny characters and could not wait to make a card with this fella.    Whereas I normally am all about layers and different patterns, this card, I wanted the image and the scene to be the star of the card, so I went a bit more  simple.   I printed the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock and then cut down.

 

I cut down piece of black cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.  Next I cut a piece of pink plaid pattern paper I had from my stash (Mintay paper pad in my stash) and cut a strip from the other side to be in the upper part of the card.   I inked both papers with Archival Black Ink from Ranger.   I added a black strip to break up the patterns.

I colored my image with Copics:

Bunny: W1, W3, W5, RV10, R20

Grass: YG63 , BG93

Flowers: RV02, RV10, R20, Y35

I used a cloud stencil, with Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass to create clouds around my bunny.   I didn’t do any fancy masking for this, just was lighthanded with my inking.

 

I added to a piece of light blue cardstock from my stash and added to the card.   I cut the sentiment down and added to the bottom.     I decided to add some hand drawn stitching to the sentiment and the blue layer.    I also inked the remaining layers to carry on the feel of the card.

Lastly I added some black enamel dots to both bottom corners, to add the finishing touches.    I can’t wait to give this to a friend and write a fun note in it.   Hoping that this scene makes her smile and makes you smile as well.

See you soon!

Flutter By

Hi everyone!  Angela here, with my first post on this awesome DT.   Today I am sharing a card I made featuring the Flutter By Digital Stamp.    Not only do I think this is the cutest image ever, but I absolutely love the sentiment that I used with the card.   The image comes with 3 sentiments in total- but I knew I had to use this one- because I had just been teasing my husband about still giving me butterflies even after 16 years.

 

I printed the image on Neenah Classic Crest Cardstock and then cut with a Stitched Circle Die.  I then cut a slightly larger circle with my pattern paper.

 

I tend to be a Spectrum Noir marker gal, but I decided to break out my Copics for today’s card.

Bunny: N1, N3, N5, N7

Nose: RV52, R32

Net: B00, B02, BG00, BG10, White Gel Pen

I made my card base a standard A2 Card, and then cut my patterned layer at 4″ x 5 1/4″.   I used my distressing tool to rough up the card base as well as my patterned layer.    I then cut a strip in the same cardstock I used for my base, and then cut a strip of pattern paper from the same pattern pack I used for my base layer, and circle.   I then used my distress tool to distress the edges of my circles.

 

I cut a strip with the sentiment printed on it and then used the same  cardstock from my base and middle strip, to layer my sentiment.   I cut both pieces on an angle and used foam tape to adhere the sentiment strip to the bottom of the card.

A few enamel dots in coordinating colors added the finishing touches.
