Background Basics 2 Card with Nicky

Hello! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studios blog and I have a sweet little Valentine's card to share with you, featuring Background Basics 2so please read on for all the details and relevant links.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Background Basics 2 Valentine's Day Card by Nicky Meeks (featuring Foxy Friends, Brilliant Banner 4 Dies, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies)

I took an A2 panel of white cardstock and used the Background Basics 2 stamp to stamp the design with a minty coloured ink. I die cut the panel using the Stitched Rectangle Die then glued it to a slightly larger panel of minty coloured cardstock  and then cut an opening through both layers using the Rounded Rectangle Mat Die. I backed the patterned frame with dimensional foam tape and applied it to a white panel of cardstock where I had ink blended the sky and used Copic markers in various shades of green to light blue to make some tufted grass to ground my characters. I applied this to an A2 white card base and set it to one side.

I stamped the Foxy Friends images and coloured them with the following Copic markers:
Foxes - E99, E13, E11, C3, C1, C0
Blush Pink (Cheeks and Umbrella) - R22, R21, R20, R00
White - C3, C1, C0

Images were die cut with the coordinating dies and applied to the background with foam tape and I included 3 little die cut hearts from the coordinating die.

To complete my card I made a polka dot design on the umbrella and highlighted other points and I also die cut the Brilliant Banner 4 Die from white cardstock, I shaded the different parts with some ink blending and glued them together and then I stamped the sentiment in black ink.

Card complete! Have some fun crafting your own Valentine cards and I'll see you back here next Friday with something new.

  1. This is one of my top 3 favorite cards that I have seen since the start of 2025. I see a lot of cards, too. This is color choice perfection, IMO. I love the colors! The coloring on the umbrella - genius! I love the background and the highlights and the rounded frame...
