Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 40 ~ Turtley ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing my first card for the new Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 40 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I've been trying to do a better job this year in sending out birthday cards but now I realize I need to replenish my stash.

I stamped the adorable Turtley with Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with Copic Markers. I also stamped the cake from Extended Celebration {Front & Center Stamps}.

Copics used:

Turtle: BG000, BG10, BG70, BG72, E21

Flowers: Y11, Y15

Grass / Stems: YG11, YG23

Cake: B000, B00, YG11, YG23, R20, R14, YR20, YR15, Y11, Y15

Candles: V000, V12, Y15

I trimmed the pattern papers from Oh Hey! It's Your Day! {paper pack} to 3-3/4 x 5" and then I cut them in half diagonally. This gave me two pieces for each paper so I set the other ones aside for later. I trimmed a piece of red card stock to 4 x 5-1/4" and cut it in half diagonally for my mats. I adhered the papers together and then adhered them to a Kraft A2 top fold card base.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 40. 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 actually have some triangle scraps so I'm hoping to use them for my cards this month.

I decided to die cut a sentiment so I pulled out the Chic Script Salutations {die set} and die cut the happy birthday sentiment two times from a green card stock. I added some glossy accents to the turtles eyes and finished off the card with a few pieces of White Glossy Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs. Lots of possibilities with this fun sketch! I sure hope you can find time to play along. I can't wait to see what you create. Have an INKredible week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Hugs,
