Hi, Lindsey here. Today I combined Backyard Bugs with Woo Hoo and a sentiment from Comfy Creatures to create a sweet little birthday card. I just love how all the Sunny Studio stamp sets work so well together. There are so many possibilities when you can mix and match images and sentiments from different sets. Let's get started!
I started with a 4 bar size card base made from some brown woodgrain paper. I thought this would go nicely with the little nature friends I planned to use on my card. Next, I cut a slightly smaller stitched rectangle from white cardstock to do my stamping on. I had to do a bit of masking to create my scene but nothing too involved. I decided to use the mushroom house, snail, ladybugs, and bee from the Backyard Bugs stamp set and the owl from Woo Hoo to create my scene. I colored all my images with Copic Markers. I slightly curved the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Comfy Creatures stamp set over the top of the owl's head.
To finish my scene, I hand drew some grass and outlined my images with a blue Copic marker. I backed the stamped panel with a red scalloped rectangle to make the red in the scene really pop. Finally, I attached the scalloped rectangle to my woodgrain card base with some foam tape. I just love how all these cute little critters worked together. So sweet!
For today's sneak peek we have a "sweet" new set that will be available for purchase on July 1st.
Thanks for reading and be sure to check back to the blog for more fun inspiration! Have a great day!
Hey stampers, Anni here!
For today' card I used A LOT of stamp sets: Island Getaway, Fresh & Fruity and Tropical Paradise. All these fun summer sets...
I went throught my stamp sets and choose all the stamps that screamed summer to me. I put my cardstock in my MISTI, arranged all the stamps as I liked it and stamped all the images at once. For the ink I decided to go with a light tone because I wanted to do some no-line coloring.
Whenever I have a little bit of time on my hands I love to color with colored pencils. It is my favorite coloring medium because of all these opportunities it provides. But it is a little bit time consuming. No-line-coloring is still a little bit challenging for me but I love the effect and the totally different look you get.
I stamped the sentiment with black Versafine ink and adhered the piece of cardstock to my card base with dimensional adhesive. For the finishing touches I used some sequins.
Before I go I have a sneak peek to share of a second new stamp set coming out on July 1st.
Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week!
