Welcome back to my Studio!
Today I am sharing another loving slimline card!
Quick Illustration Inspiration Back Story…
We recently adopted an 8yr old rescue puppy. Truth be told, I had no plans of adopting another dog at this time because my aging Bella has certain health conditions that require a lot of attention.
I am very much an animal lover, so when someone approached me with this little rescue puppy’s story, I just could not turn away.
Needless to say, she came with A LOT of “baggage” including much fear and insecurity! But I’m happy to note that we are working through it all…at her pace…and can I just say, I LOVE HER!!!
My love for my pets is definitely the inspiration for this illustration, as is many other images in my Studio!
Tabitha’s Puppy Hugs…
So, for my card today, I am using “Tabitha’s Puppy Hugs” from my Digi Doodle Studios
and a couple of beautiful pattern papers from my “Love is in the Air” Digi Paper Collection
Coloring…
I sized, printed and cut my image out with my die cutting machine. Then I colored it with Copic Markers (full supply list below)
Slimlines & Stitches…
I die cut a stitched mini slimline, from white cardstock, for part of my base. I also crinkle cut two pattern papers, one smaller than the other.
Then I cut and folded another piece of white cardstock for my main card base and attached my black pattern paper to cover it completely.
I Love You…
I printed my sentiment, “I Love You” from Digi Doodles “Love& Hugs” Sentiment Collection on white cardstock…
…and cut it out with a stitched heart die. I also die cut a larger heart from my pink pattern paper and attached my sentiment to it with double-sided adhesive.
Putting it All Together…
I attached my white stitched panel to my pink pattern paper and then to my card base with double-sided adhesive.
Then I attached “Tabitha’s Puppy Hugs” on the lower portion of the white panel and my sentiment to the upper left portion of the white panel with double-sided adhesive.
A Few Extras…
Since my image was attached with double-sided adhesive, I was able to lightly paint a little watercolor behind my image to add some texture to my project.
Then I added a few black enamel dots and a few super cute pink sequins in various places on my card and with that, my lovable “Puppy Hugs” card was finished!
I hope I have inspired you today to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.
Happy Crafting…
