Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 24 ~ Incredibly Grateful ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 24 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I'll be honest, not totally sure I'm loving how this card ended up. I love this stamp though and had to use it for my card! But not sure it's balanced or maybe it's just that I didn't ground the pumpkins. Not sure. 

Anywho, I really do love the Incredibly Grateful stamp that was just released over at Unity last week! This is the perfect stamp for Fall! I think I've mentioned before that I love to color pumpkins. They are one of my most favorite images to color. 

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

Oak Leaves: Y11, Y06, Y15, YR15, E55, R14

White Pumpkin: C00, C1, C3, E51, E55, E57

Orange Pumpkin: YR21, YR15, YR68, YR27, E51, E55, E57

Sunflower: Y11, Y06, Y15, Y38, E51, E55, E57, YG11, YG61, YG63

Berries: R20, R14, R35, R59

Branch: E51, E55, E57

Frond: YG11, E55

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 24. 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 like to think my inspiration is usually a good example of this since I'm always adjusting the sketch. Today is no different since I turned the sketch for a landscape card and added the vellum layer to soften the background just a bit.

 My background layer is a beautiful piece of pattern paper from the Falling Leaves {paper pack}. I love the yellows and oranges in these papers! So perfect for Fall! I just used a scrap from my paper pack and adhered it to a Kraft A2 top fold card base turned on its side for a landscape card. The vellum was also a scrap that I trimmed down just a tad to make it a rectangle. Still using those scraps! 

I fussy cut the Incredibly Grateful stamp on the line and then I fussy cut the sentiment leaving a white border. I adhered them both to the vellum and then I added glue behind the pumpkins and sentiment and adhered the vellum to the card. I needed something on the left side to help adhere that side of the vellum so I added three enamel dots. Ugh... I was in a hurry to take the photos and get my blog post done so PLEASE ignore that the glue is visible around the enamel dots in my closeup photos. LOL! I know it'll dry clear and be just find. It is what it is. There's still time to play along with the TOPII Sketch 24! It ends on Monday, August 26th. I hope you can play along! Have an inktastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 24 ~ Mousing Around: Hiya, Pal ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 24 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. Just like last week's card, I had this adorable stamped heart on my desk just asking to be made into a card. These adorable mice are from the Mousing Around: Hiya, Pal stamps from Unity. Love them!

I'm continuing to use up some of my leftover papers. This 4 x 3-1/2" piece of pattern paper is the only left in the scraps that would work with this month's sketch. All the other were cut down for last week's card so I'm thinking next week I'll do my August scraps cards. 

 

Here's a look again at the original scraps I started with this month. I should have taken a current picture so you could see what's left. It's not nearly this much.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 24. 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 like to think my inspiration is usually a good example of this since I'm always adjusting the sketch. Today is no different since I added the heart over the pattern paper.

 I stamped the mice from the Mousing Around: Hiya, Pal with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. I stamped the hearts with a reddish purple ink but since this has been sitting on my desk for months, I'm not sure what actual ink I used. I die cut the mice using a die from the Dashes and Frills Hearts {die set}. I colored up the mice with my Copic markers. I coordinated my colors with the papers. 

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

Black: N0, N2, N4, N6

White: C00, C1, C3

Yellow: Y15, Y06, Y38

Pinky Purple: RV10, V91, V93, V95

Red: R20, R14, R46

Ground: C00, C1

I adhered the pattern paper to a 4 x 5-1/4" piece of Stampers Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink. I trimmed up the star paper and adhered it to the heart and then I added a bunch of foam tape to the back of both the heart and the star paper. I popped those up on the panel and then I adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base. The sentiment was also a scrap on my desk. I know it's Unity but I'm really not sure which stamp. If you happen to know, please let me know in the comments. 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.

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 24 ~ Bitty Birthday Bash ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing my first card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 24 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group.  I've been wanting to play with the adorable Bitty Birthday Bash from Unity. It's been sitting on my desk for weeks!

I am continuing to use up some of my leftover papers. I came across these pretty rainbow papers in my stash. No idea what these papers are called or who made them. They sure are pretty though!

 

Here's a look at the leftovers I'll be using up. I'm hoping to finish these up quick this month.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 24. 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 moved my sentiment and added the sequins in place of the little rectangle. A good example of letting the sketch lead, but not limiting the design.

 I stamped the Bitty Birthday Bash birds using Black Amalgam ink for the birds and Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Ink for the balloons. I colored up the birds and a bit more of the balloons using my Copic markers. Fussy cut them leaving a bit of a white border around the images.

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

Birds: Y11, Y15, YR12

Pink Hat / Pink Balloons: RV000, RV11, C1

Purple Hat / Purple Balloons: V000, V12, C1

Grass: YG11, YG23

Flowers: B000, B00

I love how quick these cards came together! All my layers are adhered directly to a white A2 top fold card base. No foam tape or popping up of anything on this one.

 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,
