![]() I cut the Mama Elephant ‘happy’ nine times – stacked three each and arranged them on the front with a tiny birthday sentiment heat embossed in white and added a few gems for sparkle. ![]() I simply trimmed the panel down and adhered it to a card base with foam in between. With the other inky panel, I decided to create this quick and easy card. I put my tape as close to the edge and corners as I can, and this ensures an even adhesion with no bubbles along the edges of the panel. Sometimes inky panels have a bit of a kink in them, making them difficult to smooth out with just glue. I use Art Glitter Glue for just about every thing when I craft, but I do like to use wide double sided tape when attaching my card fronts to foam and card bases. Pretty Pink Posh have very cute people stamp sets with simple line designs, they suit many card occasions, and they’re the ones I reached for today in order to practice my new combinations.Īnother stamp set I regularly colour are the MFT Mermaids, so I decided to colour one of these up as well.Ĭlose ups of the people I have coloured today My goal for now is to get out of my comfort zone of reaching for my habitual choices of colour and really think about what I’m representing in my projects. So I got my workbook back out, tried out some colour combinations and filled in my final decisions for the bottom two images. I still consider myself a beginner colourist, and have only been practicing my colouring on small images and stamps for cards for around 2 years or so. I had previously coloured the top four images as part of my original class. There are many other little freebie classes and digital images, I definitely encourage you to visit the Kit & Clowder community – either via Facebook or their website.

This completes my cute little gift tag today. I finished the tag off with Lawn Fawn Gold trimmings. I white heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock and cut them as thin as I dared! The sentiment strip was placed with a foam adhesive strip directly beneath the fox and the gift. You can view my stamp storage and binders here. I searched through my Christmas sentiment stamps – I do have all my Christmas stamps stamped out into a binder, making this easy to flick pages to find the perfect sentiment to fit. Two, liquid glue was difficult to get a smooth finish on the vellum, but Gina K’s adhesive dot roller worked best to adhere both white circles on either side of the vellum. One, best to stamp and heat emboss any images first, so I put his wee gift a little to the left, plus the To/From and my logo on the back. I realised two things through trial and error. ![]() ![]() I wanted my gift tag to have a little bit of a difference to all my others, and decided the Honey Bee Stamps tag set with a vellum centre layer would be just the thing. I did colour the nose with a black copic marker. I did not worry about trying to colour those teeny weeny eye pieces, rather filled those tiny gaps with black Nuvo drops. I went through my scrap folder ( click here to see how I organise my cardstocks and coloured scraps) and chose some burnt orange and cream cardstock. The Taylored Expressions Little Fox has two dies – one for the fox body and the other for the white accents – it cuts the two cheeks, nose and tip of the tail at once. I have listed all products used at the end for your reference. ![]() I chose to use watercolour cardstock, even though I didn’t paint anything, because I like the natural texture. This tag really is a simple one – mostly die cutting using products from Honey Bee Stamps, Taylored Expressions and Lawn Fawn. ![]()
