Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 20 ~ Pawsome Peepers ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a brand new sketch for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. Once again I had so much fun that I ended up making two cards to share! I veered away from using up my scraps because there weren't enough pieces to work with for this card design. But I'll be back with some 'scraps cards' soon! I did, however, use stamps that still hadn't seen ink!

My two cards for TOPII Sketch 20 featuring all of the adorable pup stamps from Pawsome Peepers from Unity Stamp Co. I just had to ink them all up! I thought these cuties would be perfect for this sketch all stacked up!

My first card featuring four of the adorable pups. I stamped them all using Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. I colored them up with my Copic markers and fussy cut them out. 

I paired the Pawsome Peepers pups with the Timeworn Paws Anthology {paper pack}. I used these beautiful papers for my daisy card that I shared awhile ago. I just love the gorgeous colors in these papers!

I die cut a circle from another pattern paper in the pack using a 1-1/4" circle die from the Nesting Circles Dies from Waffle Flower. I mat the pattern paper circle using a scrap circle in my stash. I'm not totally positive but I think it's a scrap from the Stitched Circle Plate Background dies from Gina Marie Designs that I used on a sweet gnome Halloween card last year.

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

Top: E50, E53, E21

Second: E000, E11, C00, C1

Third: N0, N1, N3, N5

Bottom: R00, R20, C00, C1

Here's a look at the fun new sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 20. Another great sketch for those larger leftover pieces. 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 have a few fun ideas for this sketch and I hope to play some more with it during the next few weeks.

My second card featuring the other four pups from the Pawsome Peepers stamps.

Not only did I struggle to narrow down which pups to ink up for my card which resulted in my using all of them, I also couldn't decide on which papers I wanted to use. So I had to make two cards! All of my measurements are directly from the sketch. The only change I made was the black circle mat that's slightly larger at about 1-1/2".

The pups are adhered to a 2-3/8 x 4-1/8" piece of Kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink. The circles are adhered to the focal panel and then I added a bunch of foam tape to the back of both pieces and popped them up on the cards. I finished off the cards using enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs. They weren't labeled so I'm not sure which set they came from... sorry!

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up the last four pups:

 

Top: E000, E41, E53, E55 

Second: R00, R20, C00, C1

Third: E11, E13, E17, E09

Bottom: R00, R20, C00, C1

The sentiments are also from the Pawsome Peepers stamps from Unity Stamp Co. I trimmed them and mat them with True Black card stock from Papertrey Ink. The white of the paper was a little to bright for the card so I used a blending brush that I usually use for Vintage Photo Distress Ink and just blended over the sentiment without adding anymore ink. I'm so happy with how these cards turned out! I hope you're inspired to play along with the sketch... and maybe even ink up a stamp set that hasn't seen ink yet! Have a wonderful week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Scrapping for Less ~ Brutus Monroe ~ Fall Themed Baby Card

Hello! Today I'm sharing a fall themed baby card... actually, I had so much fun making the first card, I decided to make two cards to share with you! Let's get to it!

My first card has layers using the Lawn Fawn Knit Picky Fall paper pack on a dark brown card base. I stamped the sweet bunnies from the Brutus/Monroe Bunny Kisses stamp set on a piece of white card stock and then stamped them again on a post-it note. I masked the bunnies with the fussy cut post-it note and then blended Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, and  Vintage Photo distress inks. I took the mask off and colored the bunnies using the following Copic markers ~ E30, E31, E35, E53, E55, E57, YR24, R20. I die cut the piece using the large cross stitch rectangle die that I mat on the same dark brown card stock. I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark watermark ink and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I popped up the panel using foam squares and called this one done!

I used similar items for my second card. I stamped the bunnies again on white card stock and used the same mask to protect the image while I blended Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, and Scattered Straw distress ink. I then removed the mask and this time I used Copic markers to color my ground for the bunnies. I used E53, E55, and E57 with a touch of 0 around the edges to softened it up. I die cut the piece using a wonky stitched square die and then mat it on dark brown card stock. I then popped up the piece on a kraft card base. I did debate coloring the bunnies... but I really like how they are the focal point on the card here. The white pops! And because I had so much white popping on the card, I also decided to keep the sentiment white so I stamped it in VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. To finish the card I wrapped some natural twine around the card a few times and made a little bow. There you have my two Fall themed baby cards.

You can get this sweet Brutus Monroe Bunny Kisses set here.

Thanks for stopping by!

See ya next time.
