Hello crafty friends, Marine here,
I'm back one last time on the blog with this colorful and fun Valentine card
featuring a big mix and match of stamps and dies. My journey with Sunny Studio ends
today, after almost five amazing years full of bright colors, cute critters and
busy little scenes. I used the mice on many cards and created a lot of scenes
with them, so I had to feature them one last time as a nod to my time on Sunny
Studio's design team.
I started off by stamping the
images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I
cut them all with the matching dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu
markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Merry Mice + Harvest Mice - mice • Bighearted Bears - envelopes, bows • Heart Bouquet - balloons. When the coloring was
done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.
Next I worked on all the panels
to create the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches aqua panel, mixed some
liquid stardust with water and added sparkling splatters to my panel using a
slim brush. While my panel was drying, I cut a Bursting Hearts panel out of turquoise cardstock,
added sparkling splatters and white splatters to it, and once dry, I attached
it to the aqua panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base.
For the heart-shaped panel, I
first cut a large Stitched Heart 2 panel out of light pink
cardstock, ran it through my die cutting machine along with the Quilted Heart Portrait die to cut tiny hearts out
of it, and then added splatters to my pink heart. I cut another large Stitched Heart 2 panel out of white cardstock and
stuck the pink heart panel on top using 1mm foam squares. I cut a large Scalloped Heart panel out of pearlescent vellum,
attached my pink heart panel to it using liquid glue, and finally stuck my
heart panel to the card base using 1mm foam squares.

Next I stamped "You are
always in my heart" from My
Heart on white cardstock using red dye ink, cut it with the
matching die, and stuck it in the middle of my Stitched Heart 2 pink heart using 1mm foam
squares. I attached the images on both sides of the heart using 2mm foam
squares, and then added a scattering of hearts all over the card. I cut those
hearts out of red cardstock using Stitched Hearts 2 dies, attached them using foam
squares, and finally applied glossy accents on each of them to add more shine
and sparkle to my card.

And that's it! Thanks for
stopping by, and thank you so much guys for supporting me and my work during
my Sunny
Studio journey. Thank you Laura for being the greatest right-hand
lady to Mendi and an amazing supportive friend, with the kindest
words always. Thank you Mendi for asking me to join the team in August 2021,
it's been an honor and so much fun to work for you and Sunny Studio. So
many stamped and colored images to build the extra busy scenes I loved
creating! It was a blast to be on this team among such amazingly talented
crafters, and I look forward to seeing everyone's future projects with the
upcoming release! Bye, and see you all someplace else.
