{Paper Smooches} I Wooly Love You

Today was International Day of Pink and all of the kids wore pink to school to support diversity and raise awareness to stop discrimination, gender-based bullying, homophobia and transphobia. You can read the story behind the Day of Pink HERE. I was inspired to create this cute card for Kim's birthday next week!

I used Positive Strokes Two and three shades of distress inks to create the background, which I splattered with water and shimmer spritz. Once the sentiment was stamped with black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder, I splattered the panel with black colour shine and set it aside to dry.

The critters are all from the cutest stamp set called Courteous Cuties. I again stamped them with black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I used a brush and distress inks to watercolour the images, then die cut them with their coordinating Courteous Cuties Icons dies. To finish, I adhered the lamb and bear with foam tape and the bees with mini glue dots.

For the panel of patterned paper that peeks out from either side of the watercolour panel, I used a retired Seven Paper 6x6 paper pad called Amelia. I've linked to a newer paper pad below, if you're looking for one with comparable colours.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

{Sunny Studio Stamps} New Design Team Member!

I'm so excited to be joining Sunny Studio Stamps as a design team member! I love fun, quirky stamps and Mendi's illustrations are perfect for me. Of all the stamps currently in the Sunny Studio collection, my favourites are the critters with mix-and-match heads and bodies. I had to use the silly raccoon for today's card.

To create my scene, I picked the two main images - mailbox from Sending My Love, and raccoon from Woodsy Creatures - then stamped and cut masks for them. I created two asks for the raccoon, one for the entire body for stamping the mailbox and another, just for the paws, so I could stamp the apple from Summer Picnic behind the digits.

After stamping the main part of the scene, I stamped the sentiment and added falling leaves - also from Woodsy Creatures - to create movement down and across the card. After colouring everything with Copic markers, I used the same colours from the leaf on the apple and the mailbox to create a pointillist anchor to ground the scene.

Thank you, Mendi, for this wonderful opportunity!
