On to crafty stuff :) I made a birthday card that was inspired by several challenges going on right now: CAS Colours & Sketches, Color Throwdown and AAA Cards.
I started this one by stamping the chevron in green and then moving it over slightly so that it was in the blank area and stamping it again in gray. I used my Misti which was a serious help. Then I stamped 'Ellie' on some white cardstock and colored her in with copics. After fussy cutting her out, I adhered her to my card and stamped the flags right over her nose and colored them in. I also used my wink of stella to put some shine on the flags :) I used my Misti again to line up the sentiment. The last thing I did was use a white gel pen to add some dashed lines along the green part of the chevron.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Paper Smooches - Borderlicious; Avery Elle - Ellie; SSS - You matter
Inks: Copics - W00, W01, W03, R20, G19; Hero Arts - Charcoal Grey, Ranger - Lily Pad; MFT Black Licorice
Embellishments; Wink of Stella
