Sketchy Lines Background Stamp

Hello and thank you for stopping by! I always love a good scene card and I came up with the idea of \”Monkey Coffee Break\”. Of course my monkeys are mischievous and are fighting over the cup of coffee!

I am so excited to be joining the The Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

My card process:

My first step was creating this fun background. I started by making an alcohol ink background with blues and greens. After the panel was dry, I used Simon Says Stamp Sketchy Lines background stamp with Alcohol Lift Ink to create the striations in the background. I really like the end result.
Next, I stamped the images, colored with Copic markers and die cut. The monkeys are from Photo Play \”We Bought a Zoo\”.
I wanted to frame the vignette so I used MFT\’s Stitched Rectangle dies.
I embossed the sentiment: Simon\’s Says Stamp – Beautiful Ride.
I adhered the monkeys and frame with foam tape.

I think this is a fun card and I am so pleased to be submitting it to the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

I am happy you stopped by!

Hello and welcome! I was in need of some sympathy cards and I thought it might be nice to create a little scene using the bench from a stamp and die set (WPlus9 New Home) that just arrived in the mail.

Sympathy Card using Altenew Garden Grow, Hero Arts January 2019 My Monthly Hero and WPlus9 New Home.

I wanted to pair it with two of my go-to stamp and die sets: Altenew Garden Grow and Hero Arts January 2019 My Monthly Hero. I started by stamping a background using SSS Sketchy Lines Background Stamp. From black cardstock, I die cut the sentiment (SSS) twice and then glued together. I Copic colored the potted plants, then die cut, assembled and adhered to the background using foam tape.

I am entering this card in:

Lil Red Wagons In Memorium Challenge

Crafty Catz Sympathy Challenge

As You See It Challenge. My \”go to\” dies that I use most often are Altenew\’s Garden Grow and My Monthly Hero January 2019. I love to use them both in scene cards.

Thank you for stopping by!
