Heartcraft Paper Blog Hop and Challenge #1

Hi everyone,

Wow! It sure has been a while since I have posted to the blog. I am so excited to share with you all my very first creation for Heartcraft Paper's Blog Hop and Anything Goes Challenge. I was so excited when Monica, the owner of Heartcraft Paper contacted me for a full time spot on the Design Team!

Now let's have a look at what I made! 😊

Now for how I made it and what awesome things I used to make it! 😊

First I chose the digital stamp I wanted to use "Wesley" and resized it and altered the sentiment "HAVE A MAGICAL BIRTHDAY" from the "Wizarding Sentiments" digital sentiment set by adding the sparkles from another sentiment in the "Wizarding Sentiments" set and then printed it onto some X-Press It Blending Card so I could use my Copic markers.

After a couple of days of letting the ink set on the X-Press It Blending Card I grabbed one piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and cut it down to 8 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches with my Tim Holtz Maxi Trimmer and folded it in half while using my Teflon Bone Folder to make it fold nicely, this will be my card base.

I then found and bought this awesome digital printable scrapbook paper set from WickedSpiritFashion on Etsy which you can find HERE. I printed that on some random Australian sized A4 210gsm white cardstock that was lying in my craft room. I used my Sizzix Big Shot to cut the diamond check pattern paper with My Favorite Things A2 Rectangle STAX Set 2 die (4" x 5 1/4").

I started to colour in "Wesley" with the following Copic marker colours (E21, E37, E41, E59, 100, C3, C5, C7, Y17, YR04, YR15 and R29) and the car with (Y00, 100, B000, C3, C5, C7, BG72, BG93 and YR07).

I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out "Wesley" and the car and cut out a plain white silhouette version with the offset tool 0.08" to make the image 'POP' and then I used my Sizzix Big Shot again this time with My Favorite Things Fishtail Flags STAX and altered it to become a stitched rectangle.

I then adhered everything onto the card base with Art Glitter clear adhesive.
