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!
