I’ve had a restful weekend trying to catch up from my trip California. I had the special treat Saturday of spending several hours with my little sister, Jeannie who has been in Orlando on business. Today I have had fun surfing through Betty’s (gbedwright) who is the inspiration artist for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Betty does absolutely gorgeous work and it was hard to pick my favorite. I finally chose an adorable get well card with a sad little sick pig in bed with his temperature being taken. I loved the layout. I used a darling image from Rubbernecker’s Easter Collection and decided to pull out my Copic markers for coloring. I used an artist pen to sketch in grass and some hidden eggs, painted all the images with markers and then sponged on Scattered Straw Distress ink with Cut & Dry foam for the sky area. I used my fern stamp with Peeled Paint Distress ink to add texture to the ground area. I chose my colors from the cute designer paper that I wanted to use for this card. The white polka dot grosgrain seemed like the perfect little embellishment to go with the white scalloped layer. Little by little I am getting more comfortable using my Copic markers….but I still love my paint brush. I’m adding a photo below of all the tools, etc that I used to make my card. Please leave a comment and let me know if you find this helpful so I will know whether I need to continue taking the photos. Thanks for your help.

Your card is totally fabulous Kittie!! Can’t wait for Tuesday for my Rubbernecker shopping day. Need to spend some serious time in the easter section, it is comming way to fast!!
Wonderful card! I always like it when you take a photo of the products you used but make it easy on yourself.
Love the cute card Kittie – as usual you are so creative. I love seeing the tools you use- it helps me a lot!!! I can see exactly what you are talking about that way.
I like seeing the tools used also. Thanks for sharing your great artwork with us 🙂
Kittie, So glad you’re back. Don’t ever leave us again 🙂 This is a darling card. I really like the diagonal background dp. I also like your picture of the supplies you used. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. TFS
This bunny is adorable! I love when the artist adds a pic of the supplies…nice touch. I’m afraid I am too lazy, or really, too messy to compile them all so neatly for a pic! Thanks for doing it!
Once again, I do so enjoy seeing your supplies! They all look brand spanking new, are you SURE you are using them?? JK< and your card of cousrse is wonderful. Hugs, Nancyruth
I am a big fan of yours! This card is lovely. You always use the right colors and pattern paper. I also like seeing the picture of the supplies you use. Keep up the great work!
You make such beautiful cards. I’m new to stamping and haven’t tried much “painting” with markers yet. What do you use the Cut N Dry Foam for? Your cards are true works of Art!! Thanks for sharing
Hey Kittie,
Its good to have you back! I like the photo of the supplies used. I think it will help out alot when looking for what to purchase. With so many brands styles and types its hard to know what will give the best results. Also I always wondered what you used to get the scallop layer.
THanks for all that you do! You make card making so much fun!
Kristina
Yup, love the picture of the supplies! I’m wondering how you acheived the scalloped edge on your paper with this stamp? You cut that well? Pray tell.
