Hey it's Nikki coming at cha with a super cool, groovy card. I was at Michael's recently and found these really cool wooden pieces and my mind started racing as to how I could use them with my cards.... well today's post is going to show you exactly what I was thinking about..... the idea popped into my head almost immediately and all I did was pray that no one else on the design team had picked this image yet......
I was so lucky because no one had so I signed up and got busy...... I chose Hippie Chick, she is available
here! I wanted to do something bright, cheery and super colourful. This is what I came up with....
Of course I used my favourite medium, Copic markers to ink this adorable little stamp with. This image was printed on Make it Crafty Alcohol blending card. Her skin was inked with
E000, E00, E11 and R20. Her hair was done with
E50, E51, E53 and E55. Her pants were done with
BG02, BG05 and BG07. Her belt was
YG03 and YG25. Her shirt was done with
RV21, RV23, RV25, Y15 and Y18. Grass was inked with G21 and G24. The flowers were done with
YR04, YR07 and G24.
Here is the wood piece I was talking about. I covered it with patterned paper from Glits called "Unchanted Waters", I cut it out with an exacto knife, filed and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain ink. Isn't it adorable? It was perfect for this card.... =)
How groovy is this? Totally loved making this card. It was so much fun. The card is 5.5X5.5" square card made out of Gina K Kraft card stock. I used MME's "Happy Girl" patterned paper. There are some wooden heart shapes from Simon Says Stamp. The sentiments are from MFT's "Farout" and Hero Arts "PSSST" stamp sets. I added some cheese cloth and did some faux stitching with my Signo Uniball gel pen in white. I really hope you enjoy it.... I loved making it =).
