I Carrot About You

August 11, 2020

Hello and welcome!

Tatiana is here with you and I’m super excited to be featured on SugarPea Designs blog!!! Today I came up with a cute and simple copic colored card featuring so versatile and just adorable Cottontail Cuties stamp and die sets!

Cottontail Cuties stamp set comes with a few lovely critters and tons of small accessories useful to build any scene and cover a lot of occasions that’s why the coordinating Cottontail Cuties SugarCut is a game changer for me! It allows me to save a lot of time and die cut quickly all the elements for a project. Once finished with the die cutting, I stamped the outline stamps from Cottontail Cuties stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I work on Neenah Solar White paper this time and used it both for the stamping since it’s copic friendly, for the inked background behind the bunny and for the card base. All the stamped elements as you may guess were colored with copic markers.

In case you’re interested, I’m leaving you the complete list of all the colors used on this project: COPIC MARKERS bunny T0-T1-T3 plus RV00-RV21; fence E30-E31-E33-E47; tomatoes R20-R22-R37; leaves YG01-YG05; carrots YR00-YR04-YR18.

An extended A2 size (5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″) white card base was embellished with a light grey leaf pattern achieved with Leaf Cover Plate. I ran a piece of grey cardstock inside my Big Shot machine with Leaf Cover Plate die facing down the grey cardstock only once and without adding any additional pressure. As the result I got a deeply embossed pattern that was perfect to use as a non distracting background. The scene background was arranged on a circle die cut from Bamboo Garden SugarCut. I inked the grass portion towards the bottom part of the circle with Simon Says Stamp Willow dye ink through the edge of Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil Then I added the sky portion mixing together Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass, Lavender and Apricot dye inks. I used the blending brushes for this purpose to achieve a soft and smooth look. Finally I arranged all the colored elements on the card front inside the inked circle and finished with a matching heat embossed sentiment and a few sequins.
