This was one of my favorite cards to make so far!! I used Copic markers to color these adorable little animals and I used distress inks and a stencil to do the background. I made this card a few months ago, but I just recently uploaded the video tutorial on my YouTube channel and I got excited all over again. The stamp set I used was Stacking Animals by Simon Says Stamp. The stencil is from Winnie & Walter called "Scenery: Pattern Of The Rings". I also used Lawn Fawn's Into the Woods for the "smile" bubble. If you want to see a step by step tutorial, please check out my youtube channel here.
I'm not quite sure how to do this yet, but I'd like to include links to all the products I used, like I do on my youtube videos. So if anyone is out there reading this and knows a simple way to list links to all the products used, please feel free to share that tid bit with me. Now back to my card. Aren't these little animals just so darn cute?!?

I used Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Dusty Concord for the background. Ok, I'm going to hit Publish now for the very first time so cross your fingers!!! |

Hi again Petra!! I'm not quite sure how to edit my reply so I'll just reply again... I just recently made changes to my 1st blog post and seeing that you so kindly are now following me via email (thank you BTW), I'm worried that you are going to be notified every time I make a change. Would you please let me know if my changes produce a new email to you each and every time? I sure hope not.. yikes!! Or do you just receive an email when I create a "new" post? Thank you dearly Petra ~ xx
DeleteSo sorry, Misty, forgot to say - I came here from my sweet friend, Michele's blog - isn't she just a darling, hey!!!!

ReplyDeleteMaybe I shouldn't have deleted this?? It was just a duplicate comment so I thought I should remove it but maybe I shouldn't have done that... yikes!!

DeleteWelcome to bogland Misty!! I found my way here from the ever sweet Michele's blog. Isn't she just the best!! Your debut post is incredible, bravo!! You are going to love this crafting community. SO much love and support to be found. You're off to a marvelous start and I'm looking forward to loads of inspiration from you!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! You couldn't have said it any better. Michele, although I just recently met her, is pretty incredible! I am already feeling that love and support you speak of. Everyone's comments have been so kind and encouraging, I've never experienced anything quite like this before! I'm really excited to start this new journey and I'm looking forward to meeting even more wonderful people!! Thanks for your sweet comment Lisa!!!
DeleteHi, Misty. I also came from Michele's blog. I have had the honor of actually meeting and crafting with her and I love her, too. It's hard to believe that this is your first post but you must have had an outlet somewhere because 'you were spotted' and you're already doing tutorials. Your coloring is fabulous and the card is darling. I'm sure you'll go far in this community of supportive, like-minded crafters.
ReplyDeleteHi Bobby!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! Oh how fun to craft with someone else!! I would love to do that someday, it just sounds like it would be a blast.. I've been making cards for a little over a year now and before that, I've never really done anything crafty. It seems so weird to me now, that I've never been crafty but I really enjoy the video editing part of my videos. Is that weird? Anyway, thanks again Bobby for your kind words. And thank you for checking out my new blog!!
DeleteHi Misty! I'm so glad Michele sent me over to visit your fabulous new blog! Congrats to you on joining us in blogland, and a huge CONGRATS on being spotted by SSS for this really awesome card! Love your background and beautiful Copic coloring!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to check out and subscribe to your You Tube channel...Looking forward to visiting you often :)
Hi Barb!! Oh thank you so much!! I'm excited to be a part of this amazing new (to me) community!! And my jaw still drops open & then I get a big cheesy grin on my face when I just think about being spotted by SSS. I've never been recognized for anything before!!! It's such a great feeling!! Kinda like coming on here and seeing all these beautiful comments. It's very humbling. I've never really experienced such kindness in my life.. So I sincerely thank you for taking time to check out my new little blog. :) I do hope to chat with you again real soon ~
DeleteOh, I just realized that I didn't offer you some info about sharing links to your supplies...You can type in the name of the product at the end of your post (or in the body of your description) the same way you added your You Tube channel. Or...you can get Inlinkz which costs $4.99/month. If you're going to do that, wait until you get the hang of blogging first, and I would be happy to help you get it set up. Just let me know if I can help in any way ~ Barb
ReplyDeleteI think I understand. I kinda did it in my next post. I do like the idea of the Inlinkz but not sure it's worth paying for it each month. Maybe if I was making money off my blog. I guess I'll just wait and see where I go with this. Thank you Barb!! I will for sure take you up on your offer if I decide to go that route..
DeleteHi Misty, I've stopped by from Michele's blog to welcome you to blog-land. Your blog has a wonderful clean layout with a good font. Your card is so beautifully inked and colored I am not surprised it was spotted. Congratulations! I look forward to seeing more of your lovely creations. Heading to YT now.
ReplyDeleteHi Cat!! Thank you for the warm welcome!! I can't wait to share more of my work with you ladies!!
