Thank goodness it's the weekend. Two days to relax and ignore all those jobs that need doing!
This card was originally going to be for the Less is More challenge, but it got a bit too busy in the end. I used two Hunkydory stamps sets from their "For the love of stamps" range, Fur You and A Grand Adventure. I masked and stamped the images in archival black to build up the scene and drew in a hill to stand the trees on. The misti is so handy for doing this as you don't always get a perfectly stamped image near the mask and it allowed me to repeat stamp to minimise this. I coloured in the image using my zigs. As I was colouring directly onto a card blank I didn't want to add too much ink to it and so used my polychromos pencils to finish colouring. I added the Clearly Besotted sentiment to finish.
I hope you all have a relaxing weekend x
Fab card Cara & the sentiment made me chuckle! xx

ReplyDeleteHa ha ha the sentiment totally works with your cool scene. Isn't masking a bitch! I love to mask, but it can be tedious work. Worth it though when you end up with a gorgeous card like this one. Cx
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, love the scene, those critters all beautifully coloured (maybe a hanging human to finish the scene - no thats really a bit sick I know) they really are cute and the sentiment is perfect. Shame we cant go backwards, it would be fun to have the knowledge hey.
ReplyDeleteHAHA, what a totally cute sentiment and it sure fits that image well! The trees in the background are fabulous, great job with the shading! I love the line up of cute little animals, can't help but smile at the bunny!! Fabulous card! hugs :)
