Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 19 ~ Good Days ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Thankfully, I am finally starting to feel better. This nasty cold had me exhausted and coughing up a lung. Ugh! It seemed to last forever, too! So I'm excited to be back with inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 19 for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I'm continuing to use up those leftover papers from my days on the Scrapping for Less Design Team - over 3 years ago now! These leftover papers have just been taking up room in my studio so I challenged myself to start using them all up!! So, I'll be sharing the cards I create throughout the month. Some will be using the TOPII sketches and others will just be ideas I came up with using the last few scraps. I hope you're inspired to not only play along with this month's sketch, but also use up those scraps right along with me!

Because I love a challenge... I've also challenged myself to use stamps that haven't seen ink yet. So I inked up the adorable bunny from the Good Days stamps from Unity Stamp Co. Isn't that bunny and the cute chicks just too sweet?! I wanted to keep a simple color scheme since my papers were basically monochromatic.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color:

Bunny: RV0000, RV10, RV13, C00, C1, C3

Baby Chicks: Y11, Y15, Y35

Flowers: RV0000, RV10, RV13, BG0000, BG11, BG01

Ground: BG0000, BG11

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 19. Did you know I host a monthly sketch challenge in my group? The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I've really enjoyed the simplicity of this sketch. This sketch challenge is actually ending next Monday so if you want to play along get your entry in!

I used another large strip of pattern paper from my leftovers and matched it up with a card front of Coastal Cabana card stock from Stampin' Up. I trimmed it to 4 x 5-1/4". The white scallops are die cut using a scallops die from the Blueprints 22 dies from My Favorite Things {can't seem to find it on their website so it must be retired}. I just die cut a couple of long scraps from my stash of white card stock and adhered them behind the pattern paper strip. 

I fussy cut the bunny scene cutting the bunny on the black line and cutting a border around the grass, flowers, and chicks. Adhered the bunny scene to a vellum oval die cut using the Pleated Oval Die Set from Gina Marie Designs. I was then able to add glue behind the bunny scene and adhere the oval to the card - a great trick for adhering vellum. The sentiment is from the Sweet Easter Gnome stamps from Unity that I used for my card a couple weeks ago. I just love that font and stamped a few to have on hand. I added foam tape under the word happy and just adhered the other half of the sentiment using glue. This way the sentiment lays flat on the card.

 I hope you're inspired to play along with the sketch... and maybe even use up some of those paper scraps and/or paper pads! Stay healthy and have a wonderful week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
