My Favorite Things - May Release - Countdown Day 4

 

Here we are at Countdown Day 4 to the May 9th release from MFT Stamps and oh boy are we serving up some serious cuteness today with these adorable raccoons illustrated by Yuzu Illustration.   Here are the products used in the making of this card:-

Little Rascal

Little Rascal Die-namics

Drifts & Hills Stencil

A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax (Set 2) Die-namics

I grabbed an A2 panel of white cardstock and used the stencil and MFT inks in Sour Apple and Field Day to ink blend the undulating grass and then I used the Ripe Raspberry Ink and ink blended coming down from the top and fading to virtually nothing on the horizon.   I splashed and distressed the background with a mixture of water and some white acrylic paint and when dry I used the Stax Die-namics to die cut the panel and then stamped the sentiment a couple of times in my Misti which gets me a nice clean and bold image.  I backed this panel with white craft foam, adhered it to another A2 white panel and then to my card base.

Time to stamp and colour!  I used black ink (I usually use brown) and then I coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Raccoon (dark parts) - T5, T4, T3, T2, T1

Raccoon (white parts) - C5, C3, C1, C0, C00, R000

Racoon Blushes - RV06, RV04, RV10

Log - E87, E44, E43, E42, E40, E50

Coneflowers - RV14, RV23, E44, E42, YG03, YG17

All images were die cut using the coordinating die-namics and highlighted with a white gel pen.

I arranged the blooms and Raccoons and then began to adhered them down using dimensional foam tape.

My Favorite Things - CC207

Here's my inspiration card for the newest Color Challenge for MFT Stamps - this is CC207.  Full details for how to enter can be found on the MFT site.  Here's what I've used:-

Bear Hugs

Bear Hugs Die-namics

Drifts & Hills Stencil

I used the stencil to mask a white panel and then I ink blended in Princess Pink, Something Blue and Blue Beyond inks - all by MFT.  I removed the stencil and trimmed the panel down a little.

I stamped the image from Bear Hugs in grey ink and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Bears - T3, T2, T1, T0, C0, C00

Diaper and Blushes - R83, R81, V000

Blue Teddy - B91, B000, B0000

I highlighted with a white gel pen and backed it with foam tape.

By now the ink on the blended background was nice and dry and I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment which I had shaped on my stamping block to follow the curves of the skyline.

I dotted in some interest to the sky and then attached the bear image.  Next, I backed the panel with a layer of white craft foam and attached it to an A2 white panel and then to the card base.

Last but not least I added 3 white Nuvo drops for accents.

I hope you like my simple CAS inspiration card, I look forward to seeing what you make with this colour palette which is so pretty!
