Happy Monday friends! I am super excited to share with you that I am Guest Designing with Whimsy Stamps this month! I am so thrilled and honored; they have adorable images! Here is my first of two posts.
Aren't these images cute?! I love them so. And I thought this would make the perfect guy birthday card.
- I stamped my images from A Boy's Dream onto Copic-friendly paper and colored them with my Copics.
- I used my ScanNCut to cut them out and set them aside.
- Next, I used distress inks to create the sky. I used mostly blues (Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, and a bit of Blueprint Sketch), but put just a bit of purple in the center (Wilted Violet) so I could pull out the color later.
- Using a white re-inker and paintbrush, I added a few flecks to the background to make it look a bit like the Milky Way.
- I die cut a basic circle and used distress inks to color it yellow with a bit of orange (Mustard and Spiced Marmalade). Then I added in some craters using my Copic marker and used my fingernail to distress the edges.
- I mounted that in the corner using foam tape.
- Then I mounted all the other ships and planets as well. I used an enamel dot for the end of the antenna on the larger ship.
- I added these Itty Bitty Black Star embellishments just for a little extra sparkle.
- After I mounted the panel onto some navy cardstock, I pulled out a scrap of purple to stamp the sentiment on. I added the strip to the top with foam tape.
This view gives you a better look at some of the finer details. Also, I originally picked blue for my alien because my daughter likes blue. But in the end, I decided that I wouldn't give her this card, but would save it for my brother because space isn't her thing. I have other stamps for her! :)
One last look at the final product, I hope you like it! Big HUGE thanks to Whimsy for letting me be a part of the show today, so exciting!
