Peace, Joy, & All Things Merry

Good morning friends!  I'm sharing a card featuring some adorable digital images from one of my favorite etsy shops!

These cute stockings with critters are from a digital stamp set by LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop.  The name of the stamp set is Mini Stockings.  Since I'm a fan of coloring sweet little animals, I knew I had to buy this set as soon as I saw it!  I diecut a stitched rectangle from bristol card and inked it with Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I spattered the panel with white gouache and adhered it to my card base.  I stamped and diecut some pine boughs and adhered them to the top of the card with foam tape.  I colored the stamped images with copics and fussy cut them.  I used a black glaze pen on their eyes and I used a white gel pen to add white accents to the images.  I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the peppermint sucker, heart, holly berries, star, and ornament.  I love the additional shine the Crystal Glaze gives the images.  I attached silver cording to the stockings and then adhered the stockings to my card with foam tape.  I heat-embossed a sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and then adhered it with foam tape also.

Hello Friend

Happy Friday crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for a sweet friend.

This sweet little fox is a digital stamp from the LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop and it's called Autumn Friends.  She has tons of adorable stamps to choose from so be sure to check out her shop!  I sponged some distress ink onto a stitched rectangle and spattered it with water.  Once dry, I adhered strips of pretty designer paper along the bottom of the panel.  I printed the image on Neenah cardstock, colored it with copics, and then fussy cut it.  I used black and white gel pens on the eyes and nose and added some highlights with the white gel pen.  I stamped a sentiment on the card and then adhered the fox with foam tape for some added dimension.

Copics:

Fox - E08, E15, E13, E11; C3, C1, C0; E01, E00, E000
