happy everything!


I have another card to share that I created for the July Stampavie magazine.   I used the adorable Stitched Hearts image from Tina Wenke.  Tina draws some of the cutest little animals!

I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink and colored it with copic markers.  I used these markers: W1, W3, W5, W7, C2, C4, C6, YG93, YG95, YG97, BG11, BG13, BG49, R30, R00, R20, R22, R24, R27, R29, Y32, Y35, Y38, YR16, colorless blender.  I die cut the image with a rectangle nestability die and sponged some antique linen distress ink around the edges while the image was still in the die.  I used some patterned papers from College Press's Hometown Summer line and sponged some antique linen and tea dye distress inks around the edges.  I stitched around the edges and added some white buttons and baker's twine from my etsy shop.  I finished off my card with a sentiment from Lili of the Valley's Happy Circular Sentiments stamp set.

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to enter my blog candy below!
