CAS-ual Friday's and Crafting of Hue Special w/ Critter Inspiration!!

Pin It

HELLO!! 

I'm here today with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and Crafting of Hue for a Critter Inspiration Special!! I've created a SWEET Spring Birthday Card for today sing the Somebunny Stamp Set, Bunny Fri-Dies, Pretty Posies Stamp Set and the Posies Fri-Dies!! Let's get to it!! 

I Started by Stamping and Embossing my Images using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I then Colored everything In with Copic Markers!! Normally, I would have colored my Flowers alittle Lighter, but I wanted them to be BOLD for this Card!! So I colored them BRIGHT and FULL of Color!! (Orange Flowers: YR02, YR18 and YR68  Yellow Flowers: Y11, Y15 and YR23  Pink Flowers & Balloon: RV00, RV02, RV13 & RV17  Greenery: YG03, YG17 & G05  Bunny: C0, C2 & C5   Cheeks and Inside of Ears: RV00)  

Once colored, I used the Coordinating Dies to Die Cut everything Out!! Then I added some Nuvo Drops in Walnut Crystal to the center of the Flowers!! I set them aside to Dry and once Dry I added some White Gel Pen Highlights!! I really think these small detail really add ALOT to the Images!!  

For my Background I Inked the Card Panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink added Water Splatters and then added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! I LOVE how BRIGHT it is so that the Bunny really POPS!! 

I then adhered everything to create my Scene using some Foam Tapes in areas!! Then I added a Few Iridescent Jewels!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and Cut it Down backing it with a Small Black Border and adhering it to the top of the Flowers!! I also added some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to help make it blend in and PoP!! I also added some Clear Glitter Pen to the Flowers and Balloon Images and then I added some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Balloon to make it Shiny!! I LOVE the way it turned out!!

I started by creating a BEAUTIFUL Fall Background!! I didn't have the Patterned Paper I wanted, so I created my own using the Falling Leaves Stencil from Newton's Nook Designs and some Distress Inks!! (Candie Apple, Barn Door, Carved Pumpkin, Rusty Hinge, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss) I Embossed over the Leaves with some WoW Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder and then I was able to apple Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over my entire background!! Then I Die Cut 3 Circles, one from Dark Brown Woodgrain Patterned Paper, One from Kraft Cardstock and one from White Cardstock!! I inked the background of the White Cardstock Circle with Tumbled lass Distress Ink to make it match my Background!! Then adhered them all together!! 

I used the CAS-ual Fridays Coffee Cup Fri-Dies to Die Cut my Coffee Mug from some Patterned Paper!! I inked the edges with some Hickoy Smoke Distress Ink to make it POP off the background and used Copic Markers to Color the Coffee inside of the Cup!! Then added some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Nuvo Drops over the top to make it look more like Coffee!! I wanted to add a Sunflower so I Stamped and Embossed the Flower form the Pretty Posies Stamp Set and then used the coordinating Posies Fri-Dies to Die Cut it out!! I Colored it with Copic Markers and then added some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the center of the Flower for a more realistic look!! The Leaves were Stamped and Embossed using the Peaceful Garden Stamp Set and colored with Copic Markers before I Die Cut them out using the Garden Fri-Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto a Dark Brown Woodgrain Patterned Paper Banner using the "Happy Thoughts" Sentiment also from the Peaceful Garden Stamp Set in WoW White Embossing Powder!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! FALL is my FAVORITE Season, so this just makes me HAPPY!! 😄
