Monochromatic Colored Image & a Featured Guest

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's image is a freebie from Beat Paper. I chose to color this image because of the cats. If you follow me, I love coloring cats because my sister has cats. Unfortunately, I am not coloring the cats based on her pet cats since the theme of this card is monochromatic pink.

I printed the image on watercolor paper. I colored the image using various Tim Holtz Distress pink inks. 

I fussy cut the image leaving a white border around it.

To make this into a card, I used scrap pink patterned papers and adhered this to a typing paper cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I lightly moistened this with a baby wipe before running it through a 3D heart embossing folder. I lightly blended a pink ink on this embossed panel so that the raised hearts will catch the ink.

For the sentiments, my son suggested adding speech bubbles to the scene. I heat embossed a speech bubble on vellum using clear embossing powder. I stamped the word 'mew' on the speech bubble using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I poured clear embossing powder to this, then heat embossed it. I fussy cut the speech bubble leaving a small border around it.

For the banner sentiment, I die cut one of the patterned papers using a banner die. I stamped the sentiment to the banner using the same black ink I used, poured clear embossing powder, then heat set it.

I adhered the elements of the card to the embossed panel.

My featured guest artist is my 11-year old son who colored the same image. He used Copic markers on his images.

Paper Doll & Birthday Folder

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. I am this month's blog author, and I chose Birthday &/or Rainbow as theme/s for this month's challenge. I don't have anybody in mind who is celebrating a birthday this month but a birthday card is always handy to have.

We have two sponsors for this month's challenge, one of which is new to our challenge blog, Beat Paper. The paper doll image I am using is from them. How neat is that? This brings me back to my Kindergarten years. My excitement made me forgot this month's theme/s. Thankfully, the other sponsor's images are birthday themed. I created a folder to hold the paper doll images which is good for gifting or for safekeeping the paper doll.

I colored the images using Copic markers. The images were printed on an 8 1/5" x 11" 60 lb. white paper. Not the most ideal for the girl image so I doubled the girl with an 80 lb. white cardstock. I fussy cut the images. I lined the images with a black marker for a finished look.

Isn't she adorable? To make her stand, I extended the cut on the bottom part of the girl. I scored this to create a tab to fold backwards. Unfortunately, it was not enough to make her stand up. So, I added a thick acetate to her back to keep her upright. 

For the mini folder, I printed the image on watercolor paper. I foiled the image using the Minc Machine. I colored the image with Karin brush markers and Coliro mica watercolor. I fussy cut the image and the sentiment leaving a white border around it. 

I used a double sided patterned paper for the mini folder and the pockets. I die cut two of the patterned papers from the same patterned paper pack into diamonds. I used these die cuts to matte the image and the sentiment. 

Below is a short video on how fun it is to play with this paper doll. 

I hope you like today's project. I also hope you join this month's challenge. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
