Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 32 ~ Purr-Fection Princess Pissy Kitty ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing one last card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 32 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up the wonderfully sassy Purr-Fection Princess Pissy Kitty from Unity. 

I stamped the sassy kitty and sentiment with Amalgam Black ink on Stampers Select White card stock and colored her highness up with Copic Markers. 

Here's a list of the Copic Markers I used:

Crown: BG10, BG01, BG34

Kitty: C0, C2, C3, R00, R20

Eyes: YG11, G14

Tutu: RV10, RV02, RV04

Ground: C2

Background: BG000

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 32. 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 paired up this funny kitty with the Oh Hey! It's Your Day! {paper pack}. It was so hard to just pick two papers from this paper pack for my card! LOL! 

I distressed the edges of the kitty panel and the sentiment using the residual ink on my brown blending brush. This sketch challenge ends on Monday, May 26th at 11:59pm PDT. I hope you can find time to play along. Have an inkredible week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Release Day Blog Hop ~ Fun on the Farm ~ The Greeting Farm

The May 2025 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. Our first set called SPACE KITTIES features four catstronauts having a blast exploring space. In our next set called SURF'S UP ANYA, our sweet girl is on vacation in Hawaii and ready to catch some waves. In our last set called FUN ON THE FARM, Anya and Ian finally bought a farm, and are busy raising chickens, sheep, and piggies.

HAY! I just adore that sentiment! When our family drives anywhere on our adventures and we see big ol' bales of hay we yell 'HAY'! It's just a fun thing and I thought of it when I saw that sentiment and had to use it! I inked up the adorable Anya with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her and the critters up with Copic markers.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair: Y21, E31, E35

Hat: E30, E31, E33, E25

Shirt / Socks: R20, R14

Skirt: B91, B93, B95, B97

Pig: R00, R20

Boots / Pail: N0, N2, N4

Food: E31, E33

Chicken: C00, C2, YR04, R20, R14

I paired up the adorable Anya with some old papers in my stash from Doodlebug Designs called Down on the Farm. I was happy to find scraps in my paper pack that worked just perfectly for this card.

Inspiration for my card came from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 32. I host a fun sketch challenge in a Facebook group. I'd love for you to join and play along with us!

Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Large Gingerbread Girl ~ Jaded Blossom

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with another fun holiday card for the Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party! My card today features a cute stamp from our wonderful Sponsor Jaded Blossom called Large Gingerbread Girl. I adore this large ginger!! So cute!

I inked up a cute background using the Layered Gingerbread Men Stencil from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs. This fab stencil has two stencils in the set. I inked up the gingerbread cookies on Kraft card stock using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. And then I replaced the stencils and blended Candied Apple Distress Ink over the second stencil.

I also stamped the cute sentiment in my mini misti and used the fabulous Pressure Pal from Sponsor Twiddler's Nook. The sentiment is from the retired Gingerbread Hugs from Sponsor Not 2 Shabby. I heat embossed the sentiment by prepping the card stock with the TE Anti Static Powder tool from Sponsor Taylored Expressions. I stamped the sentiment using Sugar Cube Pigment ink from Taylored Expressions. I dusted the wet ink using Alabaster White embossing powder from Brutus Monroe and then melted the powder with a Wagner Precision Heat tool.

My card is inspired by the current Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 32. I turned the sketch on the side for a fun twist. Such a fun sketch! Join us in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group to play along with this month's sketch challenge!

I inked up the adorable gingerbread and the name of this stamp is true! It's a large gingerbread girl! LOL! I colored her up with my Copic markers and then die cut her using a die from the BIG Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} from Sponsor Unity. I die cut a scrap of red card stock using a die from the Stitched Hillside Borders from Sponsor Lawn Fawn. I trimmed and adhered the sentiment to the card and adhered the red hillside piece to the card. And then I popped up the gingerbread panel using 3D Foam Squares from Sponsor Therm O Web.

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

Gingerbread: E21, E23, E25

Bow / Cheeks / Hearts: R20, R14, R27

Icing: C00, C2

I hope you'll stop by the Spring into Christmas 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration being shared! I've been inspired by so many of the cards! I sure hope you'll stop by and check it out! Have an ink-tastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,
