Hello, hello!
Happy Thursday!!
How about today's card?!...
Sooo sweet, right?!...My word, when I saw what was coming! Absolutely the cutest and does not disappoint! You'll want to be sure to get things...just saying. (lol) ;)
If you know me, you know I like things clean and simple. And that's just what I did for my card! I also went with a one layer card which makes things super easy to mail out to someone!
*I should also note, if you're like me, sometimes thinking of a layout for a card can be hard. So I used Crafty Stamp Co.'s 'Inspired by the Sketch' book to help me out some. While there may be 'layers' shown on the sketches. I also wanted to show that you can change things up a bit and totally do things in one layer while still capturing the sketch layout. ;)
Let's make this card together!
Supplies needed:
Crafty Stamp Co. September Crafty Crew Kit, White cardstock/paper (marker friendly), Copic markers, Black ink, Light pink ink, Blending brush, Black paint pen, White gel pen, Post it notes, Adhesive.
Step 1: Start with an A2 size white cardstock/paper that is marker friendly.
**TIP: To get an idea of where you'll want things at, arrange the stamps on the cardstock to get an idea.
Step 2: Stamp on the pillow image using black ink. Then set aside. *note: you want to angle the pillow and stamp it towards the bottom right of the cardstock/paper.
Step 3: Make a 'mask' for the pillow using a post-it note (or a piece of paper). (To make a mask simply stamp the image onto the post-it note or paper then cut it out.)
Step 4: Going back to the stamped pillow on the A2 size cardstock/paper, apply the mask over the stamped pillow.
Step 5: Stamp on the unicorn using black ink. *note: you want the unicorn to be a little bit behind the pillow image, as if the unicorn is holding the corner of the pillow.
Step 6: Remove the mask and set aside.
Step 7: Make another mask for the unicorn image, follow the same step in Step 3.
Step 8: Going back to the stamped A2 cardstock/paper, place the mask over the unicorn.
Step 9: Stamp on the cloud image using black ink. *note: you want the cloud to be slightly behind the unicorn.
Step 10: Remove the mask.
Step 11: Color images using Copic markers. In this case, I used marker colors, BG11, RV000, RV02, RV10, B0000, B000, B00, BV00, V20, V22, E50, E51.
Step 12: Using the two masks you made from above, place over images. Also, make a mask for the cloud image. Follow step 3 for how to and then place the mask over the cloud.
Step 13: Take the pillow stencil and place it onto the card.
Step 14: Lightly and partially stencil on pillows using a light pink ink and a blending brush.
Step 15: Remove stencil.
Step 16: Keeping the masks on, add paint splatters using a black paint pen. Let dry.
Step 17: Remove the masks.
Step 18: Stamp on the sentiment using black ink.
Step 19: Adhere the panel to an white A2 card base.
Step 20: Add gems and highlights using a white gel pen.
A fun and simple card, right?!...I hope I inspired you today and maybe you'll give this card a try!?! Perhaps put your own twist on things...I would love to see what you come up with!
That's all for me, today.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!
