Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello friends! It's Rachel here from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am thrilled to be guest designing for the newest Sunny Studio release and have two projects to share with you!

My first project is a mini slimline pop-up box card that measures at 3.5" x 6.5" when folded. I colored a number of the cute little pandas from the new Panda Party Stamp Set with Copic Markers after stamping them onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used the coordinating Panda Party Die Set to cut them out. I also added a bundle of balloons from the Floating By Stamp Set.

I added some grass by trimming 4 pieces of white card stock to 4" x 2" and die cutting them with the grass die from the Slimline Nature Border Dies. I then blended these pieces with some Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink and splattered them with some diluted opaque white paint. I also blended a blue sky background with some Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.

Copic Colors Used:

• Pandas: W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9
• Pinks: RV02, RV04, RV55, RV66
• Greens: YG01, YG07, YG17, YG67
• Blues: B000, B01, B04
• Purples: V01, V12, V15
• Yellows: Y11, Y13, Y15
• Oranges: YR02, YR04, YR18

For my second card, I made a clean and simple card featuring the cute little pups from the Puppy Love Stamp Set. I wanted the puppies to be the focal point of the card, so I kept my background simple by utilizing the majority of the white space. To start, I trimmed a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock to 4.25" x 5.5". I then stamped my pups onto the lower left corner of my card with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I also stamped my sentiment on the top right corner with the same ink.

I once again used Copic Markers to color my images to finish my card.

Copic Colors Used:

• Browns: E40, E42, E43, E44
• White: 0, W00, W1, W3
• Reds: R14, R35, R59, R89
• Shadow: T1, T3
