My Favorite Things - August Release Countdown Day 5

Are you ready for the August Release Countdown by My Favorite Things?  Of course you are and here we are Countdown Day 5 to the August 10th release.   My slimline card today features the new Tiddly Inks illustrated stamp set called Pile of Fun and the new Slimline Double Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics. 

To create my card I first die cut a slimline panel using the Slimline Die-namics named above.   I ink blended that panel using Speckled Egg and Tea Die Distress Oxide Inks for a slightly antiqued and muted look which I then spritzed with water and blotted up with a paper towel and splattered with some watered down Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide.

I used my Copic markers to colour a background of beautiful russet tones.   Here is my colour palette for the entire card:-

Girl Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00

Girl Hair - E44, E43, E42, E0000

Girl Clothing - BG78, BG49, BG57 BG15, BG32, YR27, YR24, Y26

Boots and Scarf - E44, E43, E42

Leaf Piles and Land - YG97, YG95, YG93, YR27, YR24, Y26, E44

Puppies - W1

Blushed Cheeks - R00, R20, R21

I stamped the images from Pile of Fun and coloured using Copic markers as detailed above.  The images were die-cut using the coordinating die-namics, backed with foam tape and applied.

A few points were highlighted with a white gel pen.

To complete the card I stamped the sentiment in two parts to two sentiment stripes using Skinny Strips Die-namics, backed these with foam tape and adhered.

The whole decorative panel was then backed with white craft foam and applied to a full sized slimline panel of white cardstock which in turn was applied to my prepared white card base.

A few sparkling clear sequins accented the scene and and I quickly added 3 little 'whoosh' marks behind the pup jumping into the pile of leaves to show movement.
