The card I made today is for the sketch challenge at Fab Friday #185 and features two little critters from "Special Someone"
The raccoon and squirrel were so easy to stamp and colour, not needing Stampin' blends, watercolour pencils or any other colouring media. Instead there are 2 stamps for each image; a detailed stamp for which I used Early Espresso, and a second 'fill in' stamp for which I used Crumb Cake ink. I was amazed how easy it was to match up the images.
Both were die cut using the coordinating dies and set aside while I prepared the 'setting'.
Balmy Blue was applied to the image piece using a finger dauber, and a strip of grass die cut in Mossy Meadow was added on the bottom. The raccoon was adhered using tombo; the squirrel with dimensionals. After die cutting the sentiment with the word bubble die, it was also added using dimensionals.
The raccoon looks somewhat abashed as the squirrel hands him a yellow flower for his birthday.
The image piece is matted with Crumb Cake card stock, and adhered to a larger Early Espresso square with dimensionals. This was added to the card front near the top with the sentiment underneath.
The card base is Early Espresso, layered with Crumb Cake and then Woodgrain DSP.
On the inside, the little mouse is stamped and is holding a birthday balloon.
Supplies Used:
Stamp: Special Someone
Inks: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight
Papers: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Woodgrain DSP, Whisper White
