Hi everyone! Today I am back to share with you a cute all occasion card I created as a guest for Paper Nest Dolls. I adore Christine’s adorable designs, and the raccoons in the Raccoon Love stamp set are super sweet! They work great for Valentine’s day cards and, as I am going to show you, for all occasion cards, too!
BACKGROUND
I started off my card by creating the bacgkround. I die cut some Bristol Smooth Cardstock with the Mama Elephant Cloud Nine dies and I did some ombre ink blending with Distress Oxides. I used Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio. To add some extra interest I added some droplets with clean water and with my Spectrum Noir Sparlke Liquid Ink in the colors Soft Jade and Aquamarine. I really love the shiny touch they added to this project!
For the tag I used a die from the SugarPea Designs Card Front Element Builder 2 set and I did some more ink blending with Distress Oxide in the color Worn Lipstick. I then added a fun pattern to it, using the Studio Katia Heart-Fetti Stencil and Distress Oxide Spray in Picked Raspberry.
IMAGE
The image I used for today’s card is one of the sweet raccoons in the Raccoon Love rubber stamp set by The Paper Nest Dolls. I stamped it with Premium Hybrid Black Ink by Scrapbook.com on some Bristol Smooth Cardstock by Strathmore and I colored it with Arteza markers. (yes, I have the wrong markers in the picture 😀 )
Here is a list of Arteza markers I used
Racoon Fur: Elephant Grey, Fog Grey
Racoon Inner Ear: Peach
Letter: Turquoise
Hearts: Hot Pink
SENTIMENT AND FINISHING TOUCHES
For the sentiment I combined the MFT Sweet Hello Die and the LRDS Creative Anytime Stack Stamps and the Sentiment Stack Dies. To add some shine and sparkle to the die cut word hello I coated it with a glitter pen by Scrapbook.com and with Glossy Accents. I used Glossy Accents also on the nose of the racoon and on the hearts.
I finished off the card by adding some Nuvo Drops in Simply white around the main image.
And that’s it for today! A big thanks to Christine for having me yet again as a guest and to you for stopping by! If you liked this card, you can check out the one I made in January with another super cute set by The Paper Nest Dolls!
Have a great day, everyone!
