When you love some images so much you just want to colour them over and over again and that is when a background card comes in handy. On Copic friendly paper I stamped my chosen images from Moose and Friends in a random pattern but making sure I had a somewhat even distribution of critters and then filling in the gaps with toadstools and cupcakes etc.
The stamped images were coloured with more Copic markers than I could possible list here but with an eye to keeping them soft and with slightly retro colours and I imagined this design for a baby's first birthday or similar. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and then the panel was die cut to give it the super simple faux stitched edge, then adhered to a 110lb white cardstock base.
To finish up the card I die cut the Make A Wish Die four times from white cardstock and once more from a toning peach cardstock. I adhered them all in a stack finishing with peach on top and glued to the card. Finally, I grabbed a silvery gold gel pen and added some shimmer to my candles and around the edges of the stars and party hats so that there is a little subtle added interest when the card is handled and it catches the light.
Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Please list your copics! I need all the help i can get lol
ReplyDeleteSometimes time pressures don't allow me to list them and seriously a card like this possibly used 30 or more colours, so keeping all of those out of their storage and all over my craft desk can be very messy (I could get buried) lol. If you specifically want me to have a good guess at what a certain stamped image used please ask, I'm sure I can help that way. There are also some Copic specialists with amazing You Tube channels who always list their colours. You might find those helpful. I only started using Copics less than 3 months ago, I'm actually a watercolour specialist!
