Friends for Heifer!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Clarabelle and Riley - Q032 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the main image and Friends for Heifer - G183 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Riley thought Clarabelle could use a big hug. It will be so nice when we can get back together again with friends and family and give them a big hug too!

To make my card this week, I thought I would keep it simple. I thought the cow print from Doodle Bug Designs Inc. - Down on the Farm went with this card beautifully. I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and then coloured the image in with Copic Markers. Once I coloured the image in, I carefully placed it behind the patterned paper and then placed it onto my card base sized 5.5" x 5.5". I inked around the edges of the card with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot and added a little black bow to finish it off.

It's No Mystery!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Litte Sleuth - R205 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for my main image and No Mystery - H204 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). This little sleuth has uncovered the clue to why he is so in love with his special someone. This card could be used for Valentine's Day, Anniversary or even a birthday!

To make the background for the card, I die cut multiple squares using My Creative Time - Stitched Squares Inside and Out in various brown cardstock and some white Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Cardstock.

For the brick background, I used Darice - Brick Wall Embossing Folder and then various Tim Holtz inks listed below to give the different colours for the texture.

I coloured in the main image with Copic markers and then fussy cut around it and used a black marker to go around all of the edges.

I layered all of the pieces together using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape to pop them up and then 2-sided tape to mount the final square onto the 6" x 6" card base.

To finish off the card, I used some brown twine and criss-crossed it to make a little bow and added in the question mark using some clear gems that I coloured with E23.
