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,

Love Puppies & Muddy Paws Background | Flap Fold Card | Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a sweet card I made for the new release over at Unity Stamp Co.!! Eeep! I adore the sweet pups in the Love Puppies stamp set!! You have got to check them out! Anywho, I made a Flap Fold Card to feature this sweet pup in one of my favorite color combos... kraft, black, white and red!

Those cute little paws on the puppers inspired the Flap Fold for this card. I've been wanting to do one and it just seemed perfect when I saw this cutie! The card base is the same 4-1/4 x 11" size that I would typically use for an A2 card, but I've scored it at 1-3/4 and 7-1/4" to create the fold.

I die cut the Muddy Paw background that was stamped in Black Amalgam ink on the Kraft card stock with the stitched rectangle die from the Blueprints 15 dies from My Favorite Things. I then mat the layer with Real Red card stock measuring 3-3/4 x 5". The sweet pup was also stamped with Black Amalgam ink and then colored with the following Copic markers ~ N0, N1, N2, N3, N6, N10, E34, E37, R000, R14, R27. I fussy cut the pup and set it aside. I stamped the image two more times on scrap card stock and cut inside the lines... I then adhered all those layers together to make the pup a bit more sturdy on the card. 

This is the card when it's setting open. Pretty stinking cute, if you ask me! lol
