Giveaway alert!! NND is giving away Sip & Stories stamp set to a lucky winner so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!
On my stop of this hop you’ll find a copic colored card paired with both new stencil patterns! To start, I die cut from Neenah Solar White paper the girl shape along with a couple of accessories using Big Shot machine. I saved the negative parts of the dies and used them inside my MISTI tool for a perfect alignment while I was making the stamping using Sips & Stories stamp set and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Finally I proceeded with coloring.
As always, I’m leaving you all the exact colors used on this project: COPIC MARKERS skin E50-E51-E53-E55; YR04-YR12-YR14-YR24-YG21-YR30; E25-E99; Y21-Y32; YG91-YG93-YG95-YG97; V0000-V01-V12-V15; R22-R24-R46; B91-B93-B95-B97; B21-B24-B26; RV21; YG01-YG17; T0-T1-T3.
An extended A2 size white card base (5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″) was trimmed and scored from the same Neenah Solar White paper. I applied new beautiful Mugs stencil on top of the card front and inked it using Antique Linen Distress ink and the blending brushes. Next I trimmed a piece of a kraft cardstock and transferred the Houndstooth pattern with a plain white embossing paste. The layout was completed with a die cut tag from Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. The matching sentiment from Sips & Stories stamp set was split in two parts. I stamped the first line on a narrow orange strip of paper while the other part was positioned directly on the card base. Finally I assemble all the elements with a bit of dimension and finished with a few clear sparkling sequins and a coat of Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter pen.
