Fancy Pants

 Hey there Fancy Pants

Well this post will be short and sweet!  Short because I did this so long ago I can't remember the details Ha Ha!  Sweet because....isn't this image just the sweetest?! 

 I found a picture of this card while going through some of my photographs.  I had made this card months and months ago for my Sister-In-Law who loves to garden.  I guess I got busy and just never posted it.  Sometimes I worry about myself.  I'm sure we were busy and immersed in our grand kids sports at the time, or at least that's the excuse I'm using.  

Sorry to say I didn't write down the Copic Colors I used.  Or, if I did, I can't find them now.  One thing I do know about this card is that I LOVE coloring these sweet images by My Besties.  They are always so much fun to color.  I may just have pull out my markers and color up another of these cuties in the next week or so.

You can find this cute image at the My Besties Shop HERE.  This image is called Fancy Pants, and I think she's adorable.  This is a digital image that I printed out on some Neenah Cardstock and colored with my Copic Markers.  I matted the finished image on a piece of patterned paper and then embellished with some flowers and jewels.  Well, like I said, short and sweet!

Let's Pig Out

Hi There
I hope everyone is doing well and safe.  Today I'm sharing a card I created for my granddaughter Emma's 12th Birthday.  Good Grief!  Where does the time go?!
I posted the video of this card a little while back but didn't want to really publish it on my blog until her birthday.

I think this little pig is just too cute!  I couldn't resist using him on a birthday card for little miss.  She LOVES the teal colors so of course I had to use those too.  I created this card with a couple of Honey Bee stamp sets that I "NEEDED".  The pig and the sentiment come from a stamp set called Bad Influence- The 4x6 stamp set has the pig and a bunch of cute sentiments that can be mixed and matched to say different things.    The cupcake comes from another stamp set called Piece of Cake.  You'll see me using both of these in the future because I love them both and they are very versatile.
If you would like to see how I created this card, you can view my video below, or scroll down for some of the details and supplies.

Here are the steps I took to create this card:

1. Stamp the cupcake liner, I used silver embossing powder and then used some grey markers to provide shading.  
2. Stamp the pig and the cupcake top.  If using Copic markers you'll want to make sure you are using a Copic Friendly ink. I used Gina K Obsidian Black ink and stamped  onto some Neenah 80# Solar White card stock.  Both the ink and the paper are Copic friendly.
3.  While my stamps and ink were out, I stamped all of these images on some masking paper and fussy cut them out so I could do my inking later.
4. I colored both images with Copic Markers (details are below) 
5. Place the masks over the colored images, making sure to place them inside of the stamped lines.  Anything you place on the outside of that line will not be inked and can leave a white line on the outside of your image.
6. I inked the bottom edge of my card in green, going up from the bottom of the card to about 1/3 of the way up on the images.
7. I temporarily taped a Honey Bee stencil called Fluttering Hearts to the card and to my work surface. I used washi tape to do this, so it wouldn't damage my card. I used some teal colored ink and brushed it over the stencil, starting where the green left off and going up toward then top of the card, getting lighter as I got toward the top, since I wanted to stamp a sentiment there.
8. Remove masks.-  I tied a bow around the pigs neck and added an embossed sentiment to the top of the card.  I also added a bit of sparkle to the cupcake top using a Spectrum Noir Pen.
9. I matted this with a piece of teal card stock then I glued that to an A2 sized card base I made out of Neenah 110# heavyweight card stock.
10.  Ta Da, birthday card complete!

This was a really fun card to create.  Since I have a Misty Stamping Tool, I actually created two cards at the same time. I made them exactly alike, just to make it easy on myself.  Now I have an extra in my stash for one of those days when you need a card and have no time to make it!
