Happy Tuesday, crafty friends! Welcome to day 2 of Sweet Peek Week for SugarPea Designs, and we are revealing adorable products from the Spring release all week long!
I will get all the blog hop info to you below, but how about we get to my card first? Today we are showcasing this cute new stamp & die set called Strike Up The band, and Card Front Element Builder 2. I used the CFEB2 set on my card yesterday, and will share some more later this week...but today it just didn't fit what I wanted to do. So, I focused on just the cutie stamp set. These animals just begged to be colored, which takes me forever. So, I had to color them one little critter at a time as I could steal moments here & there. I do love how it turned out!
To start, I stamped all the critters in onyx black Versafine twice. If you are comfortable with your coloring skills, then you could just stamp once. I am not, so stamping them twice allows me to make mistakes. And if I have some leftover critters, they can be used on my next card! I colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Markers in a multitude of colors - I have the full set of 90 because, well...full set syndrome. Lol! Once they were all colored, I cut them out with their coordinating diecuts.
Then I created the soft background with distress oxide inks, and some cloud stencils. I kept the colors really light so that the little critters would take center stage. I stamped the sentiment to the middle of the card, then adhered the ink blended background to the front of an A2 card with foam adhesive. Then I arranged the critters to the front, popping some up with foam dots. I finished the card by adding some jewels here & there.
That is all I have for Day 2 of Sweet Peek Week! These two adorable stamp & die sets will go live in the SugarPea Designs shop on Friday at 6pm EST.
