Making cards is my happy place! No matter how crazy, weird, or unpredictable the world is - you can always color :) Our 2-week CASology challenge is up and the cue card is:
I saw the kite in this super cute stamp set from MFT, called Adorable Elephants, and I had to whip out my Copic markers and take the plunge! I also have a friend who is going through it with all of this COVID-19 life stuff and I had to give her an uplifting message.
I cut out a tag from Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium Cardstock - I use this for 99% of my Copic coloring and love it! I used a cloud border die and a spare piece of plastic sheeting to make the stencil for the clouds. I used Broken China and Stormy Sky Distress Ink sponged on in layers
Since the stamp set comes with lots of ellies and lots of add-ons, I stamped the ellie first, then the kite, then the butterfly. I stamped a 2nd kite on a scrap corner of the same type of paper so that I could color it, cut it out, and pop it up for dimension. The sentiment is from MFT as well, but I used a Simon Says Stamp die for the "you" and coated it in glossy accents. For a CAS card, these seems kinda complicated lol.

Your colouring is so good Deidre-just love the shading grey and sweet touches of pink-super design idea to add this as a tag and love the cloud. What a fab sentiment for Time Out and so, so pleased you joined us-come again lots!

ReplyDeleteLove the mini scene on your tag and wow your coloring... mind blowing! You are so talented. Thank you for joining our Purple for Epilepsy Awareness/Friendship challenge at Time Out!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool idea to have a scene on the tag itself and then adhered to the card!! Might have to try it myself.....Your colouring skills are amazing, especially your highlighting with the gel pen and the kite colours so pretty. I'm so glad you joined us at TIME OUT and please stay safe!!
