Hello crafty friends! Today I have a set of 9 cards using a stamp from Paper Smooches Happy Hellos and a bunch of stencils from Create a Smile. I picked up the Happy Hellos stamp set because I liked that the sentiment and image were all in one and I knew it would be great for making quicker cards. I loved the cat image so I stamped a whole bunch of them and colored them with Copics (C3, C1, C00). Then I created a mask with the coordinating dies and started to ink blend some stenciled backgrounds with my Distress Oxides Inks and Picket Fence Studios brushes. Check out the video for some more info and tips:
I don't always do a coordinating blog post for my videos, but wanted you to be able to get a closer look at the final cards without having a super long video. I am sharing all the colors/supplies used below each picture.
