Card Recipe:

1. Take some alcohol marker friendly card stock, cut down either to the card front size you want or to the size so you can die cut from a stitched rectangle later.

2. Start by stamping the Chipmunks with Tuxedo Black ink. I've stamped the image attached to the tree to the right hand side so I can extend it up in my colouring into a longer tree stump

3. Mask your Chipmunks off, I've used Memo Tape however any masking sheet you have to hand will work too

4. Take some other images from the set, I'm using the strawberry planters and small cake piece. By masking of our chipmunks in the previous set it means we can now stamp over them to put images in the background of our scene.

Tip - For masking layout your stamps with how you want them to end up, take the stamps that need to be seen in the front of your scene in full and stamp these first then mask off, then work your way backwards in the scene. If you have more images you want to show further in the background you can continue to mask as you go

5. At this point once all my images are stamped I am removing the masks I created, some people prefer to leave them on and colour the background first before removing to colour the other images, I prefer to remove them and just colour! Give both a go and see which you prefer!

6. I started with colouring the background which is mostly green as I wanted it to look like the cheeky chipmunks had stumbled into a strawberry field and decided to have their picnic there!

Grass Colour Combo - G17, G07, G05, G02

Sky - B05, B02, B00. Y04 for a little sun

7. I'm colouring my scene from background to front so next is my strawberry planters, whilst I have my brown copics out I will also colour the tree stump part of the image on the right

Colour Combo:

Pots - E18, E15, E11

Strawberries - R59, R46, R27, R22

Leaves - G28, G17, G14

Tree Stump - E47, E44, E37, E35, E33

Acorns -  YG09, YG06, YG03

8. I've decided at this point my scene is going to need a tad more colour, I've taken a Memento Marker and draw in t-shirts on the chipmunks, I just couldn't resist! This will allow me to also inject a little more colour into the scene

Colour Combo:

Chipmunks - E09, E08, E04, E02

T-shirts - YR09, YR07, YR05. BV08, BV04, BV02. Y08, Y06, Y04. B06, B05, B02, B00

9. Lastly I stamped on a sentiment with a stamping platform and back onto Cornflower card stock

Colouring a full scene like this can be very therapeutic, if you haven't tried it before I do hope you will give it a go!

I will be back tomorrow with the last reveal from the April release, until next time, happy crafting!

April Challenge - MyBesties

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to have

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you
