A Penguin Trio

Happy Thursday everyone!  I’m Allison Cope and today I’m going to share a fun holiday card featuring some adorable digital images!

For my card, I wanted to keep my front panel very simple and feature the cute penguins from the “Holiday with gift and Penguins Collection” and also the penguin with the hat over his face from the “December/January 2016/2017 Digital Stamp Bundle”.  Both of these stamp bundles feature multiple digital images perfect for your Christmas cards.

I’m going to be using some Ranger Distress Oxide inks and my Copic Markers on my card today.
Come and join me in my crafty space for just a few moments to see the entire process of my card.  Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join me…

Here’s another quick look at the final card.  Isn’t my little row of tuxedo cuties adorable?

Thanks for stopping by!  I’d love to hear what you think below or leave a comment below my video.

Have a great weekend and Happy Thanksgiving NEXT weekend to my fellow Canadian creators!

Lucky Duck

Hey there, crafty friends!

It's Kelly Martin here again, sharing another masked card for you today!

In case you missed it, check out my last post on the blog here, where I talk about some helpful tips on incorporating masking in your cards to achieve those one-layer wonders!

So for today's card, I used all those tips from that post to create this little water-ey scene! I stamped my duck and Cattail images from the Lucky Duck stamp set on to my post-it notes (to use as masks), stamped my ducks on to my cut and scored card panel, and then applied my masks. 

After the masks were applied, I could finish stamping the rest of the Cattail and lily pad images!

After all the stamping was done, I colored all the images with copic makers, created the water and sky using copic markers, and then stamped the sentiment to finish off the card!

One fun tip that I use almost every time I'm coloring (especially when making a scene card), is to use a white gel pen to add little highlights on to the images I am coloring. This small detail makes the images pop in a big way!

Thanks again for stopping by today and hope you have a crafty week!
