Everyone Loves a Parade!

Oh hi! How are you? It's been a while, I know.  And it's not because I haven't been stamping. . . I just haven't been posting. But, I decided that it might be time to resurrect this little blog of mine and I thought a card featuring the super cute stamp set Yankee Doodle Day by Pajama Crafters Stamps would be a good start.


I stamped all the critters and colored them up with my Copics and then cut them out. Yes. By hand. I had an idea for the background, but I didn't want to color all those images and then mess up the background and have to start all over. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Anywho. . . .after I colored up and cut out the images, I worked on the background. My cardstock of choice for Copics is X-Press It, especially when creating backgrounds like this. I just find the markers blend much better (as long as they are nice and full of ink).

Once the background was done, I adhered those cute little critters to the background panel and then adhered that to my card base. Viola! All done!

Supplies used:

  • Yankee Doodle Day Stamp Set
  • Memento Tuxedo Black ink
  • X-Press It Cardstock (for coloring)
  • 100# white cardstock for card base
