When Life Gives You A Rainy Day, Play In The Puddles by Noelene

 Hello crafty friends, Noelene back today to share some inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls.

For my card today I have chosen the image called "Rainy Day Owen."

He was such a fun & cute image to colour. 

Before I coloured my image with Copics, I firstly used the masking technique & shaded the background with some distress ink. This was a first for me so I will definitely practice more in the future.

   

Copics:

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair: E41, E43, E44, E47

Clothes & Duck: Y11, Y15, Y19, B12, B14, B16, B18

Boots & Boat: R24, R27, R29

Puddle: B000, B00, B01

For my card I started with a 5x7 base then topped with some pretty yellow gingham paper. I then stuck my coloured image on top using some double sided tape for dimension & embellished with some clear crystals.

Rainy Day Owen is available in digi here. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

April new release: Rainy Day Owen

Hi PND Fans! Betty back with a card using a new release! "When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles!" Do you know what this means? It means that if you planned for something, but it did not go as planned, then make the best of what you have. You take that rainy day and turn it into something extraordinary. I thought this sentiment was perfect for this April new release stamp by Paper Nest Dolls called Rainy Day Owen.  This stamp comes in digital format and in red rubber (soon).

I made an A6 size card using the digital version of the stamp. This way, I can make the image as large as I want. I first printed the stamp and then colored it using Copic markers. I used the markers to make the rain showers. Colors are listed below.

Copic markers used:

Hair: E99, E97, E55, E53

Skin: R56, E11, E21, E00, E000

Blue clothes & boots: B39, B37, B26, B24, B32

Red Shorts & boat: R59, R37, R35, R24, R32

Duck: V01, Y13, Y11; beak: YR15, YR12, YR21

Raindrops & Water: C3, B23, B12, B01, B00

White sail: T3, T1, T0, Blender

I used patterned paper I had in my stash to make a mat for the card base. I matted the card front with white cardstock. I created the sentiment in MS-Word and printed it with my printer then trimmed it to fit the card. I also matted the sentiment with white cardstock and adhered it to the card. Since this card is made for a male, I did not add any bling. The card was finished.

This is a really cute stamp that could be used for birthdays, get well, friendship, hello, and more! So cute and easy to color! Hope you give it a try. Have a creative week! ~Betty~
