Hugs Gorgeous!

Happy Tuesday crafty friends! It's the 15th and that means it's time for a new A Blog Named Hero Challenge! This months it's Crafter's Choice or Anything Goes, yay! 

I chose the beautiful Hero Arts Layering Flamingo as my feature stamp on this card, I just love the lines of this flamingo :)  I started by stamping the body of the flamingo on Neena 80lbs cardstock and die cut it before stamping the legs. I find it offers a more exact placement for the legs.

Once that was complete, I chose the Bold Sunburst large cling stamp for my background and turned it upside down to get the best possible stamping. I inked it up with some Fog ink and stamped my panel upside down and put pressure over it with typing paper.

I die cut the panel with the Hero Arts Rounded rectangle dies and placed my flamingo on top to stamp the puddle and leaves. I added some colored pencils on the leaves and puddle for added dimension and then glued my flamingo.

I die cut my hugs sentiment from a deep pink mirror cardstock and embossed the gorgeous sentiment also from the layering flamingo set in white on black cardstock and added a few candy hearts to the panel!

Birthday Snow Buddies

Happy Monday crafty friends. Sharing a fun birthday card featuring the Ready, Set, Snow stamp set by My Favorite Things!

These critters are the sweetest! I started by stamping and coloring my images with my Copics and used the accompanying dies.  I wanted to use the three of them on this card so I die cut my Neena panel with the largest Lawn Fawn Stitched rectangle (A2 size). 

I then took my MFT Hills and Drifts Stencil and some Salty Ocean Distress Ink and ink blended my slopes about 3/4 of the panel. I then used some Tumbled Glass Oxide Ink for the sky and added some snow using my Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil and some glitter paste for a light snow effect.

I decided on this fantastic Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday die so I die cut it from Tonic Specialty Mirror card stock. I also die cut the bottom of the panel so I could inlay the die. 

I added my images to the panel using foam tape and added some gel pen detail on the eyes and the accessories.

This was a fun one to put together!
