This week I have chosen to feature Impression Obsession I Ruff You cling stamp & I decided to stamp & also reverse stamp the cute image as it's something I haven't done in a long time & I thought having two dogs together would look even cuter.
I heat embossed the cute dogs with Versamark ink & Nuvo white embossing powder & then coloured them with my copics. I masked both the images off and created a background using Simon's lovely Mosaic Heart Stencil and a selection of Simon's inks, Sea Glass Blue, Audrey Blue, Island Blue, Surf Blue, Blue Violet, & High Dive. As the heart looked so beautiful and vibrant I was worried that the white embossed images wouldn't show up enough against the vivid colours so I popped my masks & stencil back in place and used Simon's White ink pad to soften the colours by blending it over the whole stencil & I added a couple of Crystal Drops to the dogs eyes and a few sequins to embellish.
The sentiment is from Simon's Tilted Banner Sayings stamp set and I have stamped it in black ink and die cut it using Simon's Tilted Banner dies.
The copic colours I've used are -
C6, C3, C1, C00 / B23, B21, B41 / R85, R83, R81 / YR23, YR21, YR20
Other supplies used -
Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided tape, Elizabeth Craft Designs Soft Finish Card Stock, Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Copic X-Press It blending card, Heat Tool, Acetate, Cuttlebug.
