Smooth Sailing

The post title is ironic as my life is anything but smooth sailing right now. But it is the name of the stamp set I used today from My Favorite Things. There is not much coloring on this as I paper pieced the majority of it. I stamped the full image onto Copic X-Press It blending card and then the bunny portion of the image again. I colored the bunny image with Copic markers listed below and then cut it out. I stamped the sails and the boat onto two different patterned papers and cut out. After assembling the image, I masked it and then created the subtle cloud background using a cloud die and some light blue ink. All patterned paper is from the Echo Park Little Boy collection. This card fits this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch Challenge (MFTWSC16). I have been taking a break from these lately but I already had the image panel completed and in a ready-to-create kit so it was easy to put it together.


Products: My Favorite Things stamp and Die-namics; Echo Park dp, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Copic Markers


Copics: Bunny-E50, E51, E53; Hat and flag-R24, R27; Rudder-E40, E41, E42

I hope you are experiencing some smooth sailing right now.
