Sister of My Soul ~ Rooted in You {Just Jolande} ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

So many amazing new stamps and goodies over at Unity!! I just had to ink up the fun girl from Rooted in You {Just Jolande}. Love her!

I inked up a fun background using a couple blue inks. I die cut the panel with a die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting dies and distressed the edges a bit with my brown blending brush. I didn't go over my stamping though so the white space behind it would still show through.

I inked up Jolande with Black Amalgam ink on a scrap of white card stock and colored her with Copic markers. I fussy cut her leaving a white border around the edges. And I popped her up on the card with foam tape.

 

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

Skin: E000, E00, E21, R00, R20

Hair: E25, E29

Shirt / Shoes: Y15, YR23, YR15

Jeans: B93, B95, B97

Bag: YG11, G94, YG17, Y15, Y28

I adhered the background panel to a Kraft A2 top fold card base and spattered the background with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I wrapped the bottom with a few pieces of burlap string that I tied up in a bow. I added a few pieces of washi tape from my stash to finish it off. I just love how this turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal

Thanks Dad ~ The Very Best Guy ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I have a super quick masculine card to share today. I've used the wonderful new sentiment stamps for the guys called The Very Best Guy from Unity Stamp Co.!! These stamps are perfect for Father's Day or really any day.

I paired up the sentiment with the Roger Guy stamp and the Classic Garage papers from Stampin' Up. I also used a couple black and white washi tapes I think that were from Stampin' Up, but I really don't know. They are just in my stash of washi tapes.

I went with some color for 'Roger' so that he would contrast on the card. Also my husband, who used to wear black all the time, has started to wear more color so I thought I'd put him in a different shirt. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up Roger Guy:

Skin ~ E000, E00, E11, E04

Shirt ~ YG11, BG72, BG75, Colorless Blender

Jeans ~ B91, B95, B97, B99

Watch / Ring ~ N0, N2, N4, N6

Outline ~ N0, N1

Notice the cute heart...?! Well, I used the awesome new Linen Background of the Month stamp and die cut an ink smooshed background with the Fall Out Hearts {background die}. I started my card for next week's Membership Wednesday... heehee... you'll see more of these cute textured hearts next week!! In the meantime, head over to Unity and check out the amazing new releases and the fab sale going on right now!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Possibilities Await ~ Capture Your Story!

Hello! I'm sharing a CAS card I made for the CASology Challenge #307 - Cue Card: Zoom.

When I was younger I used to take pictures ALL the time! Photography was a huge part of my life. So when I saw the cue was Zoom... I just had to use this image from Unity Stamp Company's Moments Between Moments Kit of the Month.

I love this gal with the camera!

I wanted to continue working with my ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens so I stamped the image with VersaMark Watermark ink and heat embossed a fine black embossing powder and colored the image in. I also stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Possibilities Await set on a scrap of the same watercolor paper.

I die cut the image with a scalloped rectangle die and added a couple bits of washi before adhering it to the card base. I popped up the sentiment and then adhered the little wooden camera that I watercolored with the ZIGs as well. That's it for this card!

Be sure to check out the challenge... since it's summer time this challenge is going for 2 whole weeks, so there's still time to play along. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

See ya next time.
