Welcome, I hope you're having a good weekend! It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players and the fabulous Jaydee is hosting this week. Her challenge is to make a Clean and Simple card with woodland critters.
For my card, I used a gorgeous stamp set from Power Poppy called Woodland Carpet. I decided to make a tri-fold card and used both the larger images on the front and the first interior panel, then to the last panel I used two smaller images to leave room for a written message. I cut the card base to a 11 x 5 1/2" card base, then scored at 3 5/8" from each end so the card stands narrower than a typical A2 sized card.
I used my Misti to stamp each panel and place the sentiments were I wanted them. I then colored it all with my Copic markers. There is a lot of detail in each stamp, so it took me two coloring sessions to get it done. It was definitely a labor of love, but totally worth it!
I used dots to create the texture of the ground, starting with the lightest and then darker with each layer. I love all the exquisite detail such as the robin catching a worm and the fabulous mushrooms!
This panel has the little snail tucked in by the leaves and the beautiful butterfly alit on the fern. And more fabulous mushrooms! This card actually has a bit of a story behind it. My husband and I moved to Idaho last fall, where he lived for nearly 30 years before moving to Oregon where we met. He's often told me about many fabulous outdoor places here but we haven't had a chance to fully explore until now, hence the sentiment. I plan on giving this to him for his upcoming birthday. Good thing he likes non-traditional cards!
Thank you for visiting, it's always so appreciated! I hope you'll join us at The Paper Players this week for Jaydee's challenge!
