Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 22 ~ No Fun ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

 Today I'm sharing a sweet card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 22. I just got back from the Missouri / Kansas Unity Friends get together and I was inspired by to color up this adorable boy from the No. Fun. stamps from Unity. An adorable Phyllis Harris stamp! I love her stamps! Doesn't his face just say it all!? Too cute!

 I'm still working to finish off those leftover papers I found in my stash in April. I am seriously anxious to get these papers done so I can move on to another leftover pack. This time I only used 2 leftover pieces of pattern paper. I adhered the pattern paper pieces to a 4 x 5-1/4" panel of turquoise card stock from my stash. And then adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base. 

I colored up the No. Fun. boy with my Copic markers. Fussy cut him leaving a bit of a white border. That little bit of border helps him pop on the card with the busy stripes and dots behind him.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: E53, E55, E57

T-Shirt: BG000, BG10, BG02, BG05

Shorts: E30, E31, E33

Sneakers: Y11, Y15, C00, C1, C3

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. For my card today, I flipped the pattern papers. I thought the longer piece worked better with the foot that pointed down. Like it's directing the eye down towards the sentiment.

I trimmed a piece of yellow card stock from my stash to 3/4" and then adhered it to the card. Trimmed off the excess off the edges. I added foam tape to the back of the sentiment and the sweet boy and popped them both up on the card. I'm still loving this sketch! I may have enough leftover pieces to make one more card with this sketch. Otherwise, I plan on making some 'scraps' cards very soon with the last bits of the pattern paper. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

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.

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 22 ~ Owl Rather Be With You ~ Gerda Steiner Designs

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a fun new sketch over in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. Today I'm sharing my first card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 22. Another birthday card! Woohoo! You may recognize this card design. Just like last month's Sketch 21, I used another 'scraps' card as my inspiration for this month's sketch. This was such a great sketch for those larger pieces of scraps. I thought it would be perfect as I'm trying to finish off the leftover papers I found in my stash in April. I can't believe it's taking me this long to finish off these papers!

Anywho, for this card I only used two pieces of leftover papers. I didn't have a full sheet to use as my background so I went with a card stock that is also a leftover from my Scrapping for Less days. I trimmed the card stock to 4 x 5-1/4" and adhered the pattern papers near the top center. I stamped the adorable owl and branch from the Owl Rather Be With You stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs on scraps of Stampers Select White Card Stock from Papertrey Ink using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. This adorable stamp set has been in my stash for awhile but this is the first time I've inked it up! Yay! 

 I found this stitched rectangle on my desk that the owl fit in just perfectly. It's a die cut from the awesome Frames & Tags Die Set from Newton's Nook Designs. I colored up the owl and branch using my Copic markers. Fussy cut them both on the line (excluding the tufts on the owls head - I left a bit of a white border) 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: 

Owl Eyes: W00, W1, W2

Owl Beak / Feet: YR21, YR15, YR14

Owl Feathers: W00, W1, W2, W3, W5

Branch: E55, E57, E59

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 22. 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 dimensions for the pattern paper scraps as I'm sure we all have different sized scraps in our stash. The polka dot paper on my card is kind of long so I lowered the sentiment strip across the card. I think I actually covered up a portion of the polka dot paper with the sentiment. A good example of letting the sketch lead but not limiting the design.

I heat embossed the sentiments. I prepped my card stock first using the TE Anti-Static Powder Tool. Stamped the sentiment using Sugar Cube White Pigment Ink from Taylored Expressions. Added some Alabaster White Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe. And melted the powder using a Wagner Precision Heat Tool. I trimmed up the sentiments and adhered all of my layers to a white A2 top fold card base. I hope you all have fun with this sketch! I can't wait to see what you create with it. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
