The Little Things

 



Hello!  Today I have this happy little card that I created using a stamp set called Little Things by Gerda Steiner Designs.   I love the little glasses on this guy.

To create this card, I stamped this little guy on a 5.5" x 4.25" Hammermill Cardstock, Premium Color Copy, 100lb paper.  I always use this paper for ink blending.  I will use it for Copic coloring occasionally when I need a larger surface but always for ink blending and hot foiling.  I prefer to use X-Press It Blending Card but it is pretty expensive, so I use it mostly to stamp smaller images and cut them out with dies or my scan and cut.  I used a post it not to make a mask to cover this guy so I can ink blend the background.    I used an old stencil from My Favorite Things.  I used Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.

I colored him in the following Copic colors:

  • W00, W0, W1, W3, W5, W7
  • G21, G24, G94
  • Y13, Y18
With my little mole square finished, I used one of the dandelions from the set to stamp the bottom corner and the bee to stamp the upper corner.  I used a marker to make the little dashed line behind the bee.

To finish my card, I glued my white cardstock piece on top of a piece of green cardstock cut to 5.5" x 4.25"  and then glued it to a card base.

This is a really quick card to make and is just perfect for notecard.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you enjoy a few little things today!
