This may be a shocker but I have NO video for this post today.
It actually feels weird to post a card without a video to go alog with it LOL!
But that's how it is today - I actually colored this image MONTHS ago when I was at a garage sale - I posted about it here:
SO glad it's Monday!
(hahaha I find it funny that I posted that on a Monday and today's Monday.....small things amuse me....;))
ANYWHO - so I colored the image months ago, and I made the card months ago too - it's been sitting here waiting for me to post.
I kept putting it off b/c once I did a search I come to find the stamp is no longer available - ugh. Ah well it's still in some stores if you do a google search if you really have to have it!
This is the image - Snuggle from the Hope & Grace line by The Greeting Farm - the entire Hope & Grace line is no longer available (from TGF anyway).
I stamped it onto white cardstock with Memento ink then colored her in with Copics.
I had left her dress blank on purpose - when I went to make the card I psper-pieced her dress to match.
I had written the patterned paper (Authentique Splendid) on the bottom of the cardstock so I'd remember when it came time to make the card.
So then once I had her dress adhered I went in with my W3 and W1 Copics and added a bit of shading to make it look not so flat (I've shown that in loads of videos).
And here's the finished card!
The sentiments are from my Be Happy set. I used Brilliance Graphite Black ink (whereas now I'd use Versafine as I prefer that to the Brilliance ink now - just personal preference) so that it would be REALLY black and stand out a bit.
I popped up the Snuggle image and the sentiment on dimensionals (I get mine from Jody - the link to them is in the description box below - LOVE them!), added some ribbon and promas from my stash and called it a day.
I used one of my Spellbinders dies to cut out the sentiment for the inside. Now that set of dies is no longer available (WHY do all these companies discontinue things I LOVE and use all the time? It's one thing if it's b/c they release something newer and better but more often than not it just gets discontinued for no good reason *cough* SU Key Tag punch! *couch* and there is nothing else like it out there!! OK rant over).
HOWEVER I added a link to a set of dies from MFT that is really similar - and possibly better. I personally don't have it (yet!) but I want to get it. So if you've got it, or are planning to I say go for it ;)
Anywho that's it for today. Have a great one!
