Hi crafty friends! It’s the first Sunday of the month, and I’m sharing my project for the current Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. We are celebrating Christmas in July, sponsored by Joy Clair Designs.
All of the designers are using Making Memories Digital stamp for their project. In this set, there are three digital images and five sentiments. I picked the image of the adorable bear in a sweater, printed it, and colored the image with my Copic Markers.
Copic Marker Combination
Bear: B29, B27, B25, B23, B21
Sweater: R89, R39, R27, R24
Scarf: B05, BG01, BG00, BG000
To create the background, first I die-cut a piece of smooth cardstock into an A2-sized panel. Next, I ink blended the panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink in the center of the panel and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink at the outer edges. Next, I added the sparkle using a flurry stencil and Stickles Glitter Gel in Moon Dust.
I had to be a little creative with the sentiment by printing the digital sentiment onto black cardstock using my laser printer then I simply added white foiling. I honestly was not sure if it would work, but I had to try, and VOILA!
Once the panel was dry, I adhered the image and the sentiment using foam adhesive to the front of my panel to complete my card.
