Inky Paws Challenge #214 - Warm & Cozy Theme Challenge

We're in the midst of some really cold weather that's dipping below zero... the perfect time for some warm and cozy cardmaking!

Nothing is more cozy during a super cold day than a roaring fire in the fireplace while drinking hot coffee, reading and sitting with all the critters hanging out. I just had to combine the sweet stamp from Sips & Stories Stamp Set with the adorable stamp from the Fireside Friends Stamp Set. Both were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy cut with my Cutter Bee Scissors. I cleaned up the edges by coloring them with my Memento Tuxedo Black marker so my fussy cutting looks nice and neat.

I paired up this sweet scene with a pattern paper from A Cat's Life 6x6 Paper Pad. I thought the cute paw prints were just perfect as wallpaper. I grounded the scene with a piece of Weathervane Card Stock from Papertrey Ink. This grey card stock coordinates with the grey in the pattern paper really nicely.

Here's a list of the Copic Markers I used to color up my scene:

Bow / Rug / Chair: BG0000, BG000, BG02, BG45

Greenery: YG11, G24, G46

Fireplace: C00, C1, C3, N0, N1, N3, N5

I die cut the pattern paper and the grey card stock using the large stitched scalloped rectangle die from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I then trimmed the grey card stock with my guillotine trimmer and adhered it to the pattern paper background. I added a little scrap of card stock to the back of the fireplace so the image would lay flat on the card. I added foam tape to the back of the girl in the chair and popped her up on the card. I like the dimension this gives the card but I think it also helps with the size difference between the images. To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment and framed it with a grey card stock mat. I just adhered it directly to the card.
