Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 22 ~ Layla with Lettered ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

 Today I'm sharing a sweet thank you card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 22. I recently hurt my back and finally gave in and went to the chiropractor. Boy, am I ever glad that I did! My back is finally feeling better. Not 100% just yet, but improving every day. I wanted to make a thank you card for my sweet chiropractor. She has the cutest little girl so I colored the adorable Layla stamp from The Greeting Farm to look a bit like her.

 I'm still working to finish off the leftover papers I found in my stash in April. I am anxious to get these papers done so I can move on to another leftover pack. This time I was able to use 3 leftover pieces of pattern paper. I just adhered the pieces to my 4 x 5-1/4" panel of Stampers Select White Card Stock from Papertrey Ink. And then adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base. 

I stamped the sweet Layla fairy using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto two separate scraps of white card stock. I colored up the cute fairy with my Copic markers. I also stamped the sentiment from the Lettered stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I die cut the sentiment using the smallest circle die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity. Fussy cut the fairy on the line and then colored the edges of my cutting using a Memento Tuxedo Black marker making the cutting look all nice and neat.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04

Hair: Y21, YR23, YR14

Eyes: E57, white gel pen

Wings: B0000, B000, B00

Flower: RV0000, RV10, RV11, RV14, YG11, YG23

Top / Skirt: RV0000, RV10, RV11, RV14

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 22 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook 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 didn't add measurements for the pattern paper scraps as I'm sure we all have different sized scraps in our stash. I ended up covering the bottom of the wavy striped and polka dot papers with the bottom strip of striped pattern paper. I felt it was more balanced on the card.

I added foam tape to the back of the sentiment and the fairy and popped them both up on the card. I'm really enjoying this sketch! I hope you all have fun with it, too. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Membership Wednesday ~ May 2024 KOM Spring & Simply Joys ~ Unity Stamp Co.

  Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a sweet fairy card featuring the cutest stamp from the May 2024 Kit of the Month membership from Unity. How perfect is that sentiment?! 'A little magic can take you a long way'... I love it!

I stamped the fairy and sentiment on a large scrap of Stampers Select White Card Stock from Papertrey Ink using Black Amalgam Ink from Gina K. Designs. I colored up the fairy using my Copic markers.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: E21, E23, E29

Dress: YR21, YR15, YR68

Wings: BG0000, BG11

Flowers: Y11, Y15, YR15, R05, R17

Stems / Leaves: YG63

Inspiration for my card today comes from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 21. I saw a couple fabulous card by Amy Morris in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group yesterday and thought these papers would look amazing with this sweet fairy. What do you think?

I paired up the pretty fairy with the absolutely gorgeous Bohemian Dream {paper pack}. I cut a 4 x 5-1/4" piece of pattern paper and adhered a few scraps of pattern paper from the pack to the side. Almost like steps but upside down. And then I adhered the panel to a Kraft A2 top fold card base. 

I die cut the fairy using a die from the Scallops & Arches {nesting dies} and then I die cut the sentiment using a die from the Scallops & Banners {nesting dies}. I distressed the edges of each using a blending brush but I didn't add any ink. I wanted the colors to coordinate with the pattern papers. I adhered the die cuts together and then added foam tape to the back and popped them up on the card. and then I finished off the card with a few orange enamel dots. These were out of their package in my stash so I'm not sure where they are from.

 

And here's a look at the awesome Kit of the Month membership! Such an amazing mix of stamps this month! Well, that's it for me today! I hope you've been inspired to play with your membership stamps!

Have an ink-tastic day!

Membership Wednesday ~ February 2024 KOM Grace and More Grace ~ Unity Stamp Co.

  Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a lovely monochromatic card featuring the fabulous February 2024 Kit of the Month membership from Unity. I've just been itching to ink up this beautiful fairy! Love her!

I stamped the beautiful fairy with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. I knew I wanted to work with purple for this one so I went looking through my papers and found the Watercolor Stripes {paper pack}. I die cut the fairy panel using a die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set.

I copic colored the cute fairy with just a handful of Copic markers: E000, E00, V000, V12, V15. I stamped the fairy again on a post it note and fussy cut around her and the circle in the background. I placed my mask over the panel and ink blended with Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide inks. Adhered the fairy panel to the pattern paper and wrapped it with a piece of iridescent ribbon. I tied a pretty bow and secured it with a glue dot.

I wanted to use one of the many cut apart sentiments I have in my stash so I looked through them to find one that worked nicely with the fairy. Adhered it to the card front and trimmed off the edges. I then adhered the card front to a white A2 top fold card base using liquid glue.

 

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership! So amazing!

 Well, that's it for me today! Hope you have an ink-tastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Cute Scene Card ~ Anya Reboot with Fairyland~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

I am super excited and honored to be guest designing for The Greeting Farm for the month of November!! I have a few fun projects to share with you all this month... starting with an adorable scene card featuring the super cute fairy Anya from the big Anya Reboot stamps! 

I created a fun scene for fairy Anya by combining and resizing a few different digi stamps from the Fairyland Digi Set into a Word Document. I included the snail on the document but kept him separate so I could pop him up on the card.

I stamped the sweet fairy Anya with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored her up with Copic Markers. I also colored up my scene and the snail. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: YR31, E43, E44

Dress: RV000, RV10, RV21, YG11, G14, G07

Wings: B0000, B00, B02, V000, V12, V15

Mushrooms: W00, W0, W1, W3

Red Mushroom {behind snail}: R20, R14, R46, W0, W1, W3

House: E53, E55, E57, E59, B0000, B000, B00, B02, B04, N0, N1, N3, N5, Y06, Y15

Snail: YG11, YG03, YG63, V000, V12, V15, W0, W1, W3

Grass: YG11, YG03, YG63

Sky: B0000, B000, B00

I trimmed up my panel just slightly smaller than the edging on my die cut panel. Adhered the pieces together and mat them with a purple card front that was adhered to a white card base. I fussy cut the snail and Anya on the line and the colored the edges with a black marker. A nice trick for making fussy cut images look nice and neat. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Lettered stamp set. Trimmed it up and cut a fishtail end. I popped up the snail, Anya, and the sentiment using foam tape. Love the dimension it gives to the card and the whole scene. I hope I've inspired you to get inky and mix up your stamps and digi stamps!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
