After coloring with Copic markers I used the first small heart die I found in my stash for a heart shape cut out on each panel so the red card base would show through. A few flat back pearls and some gel pen highlights finished them up. Each card is a top folding 3.25 x 4.5 and easily fits inside an A1 size envie.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZeLMWz3nScLfaiDtnyye81VppNrO9MWksna63Af4OpF9qjXvK6u79lf-Femm6FWZWFuU_zqGty9On8T07amwgP_DVNy-Lu6qDoaQ5vJl6GEa1lQ12Nci3AdSnH6bl-cF_Ie-FEIdAOVV7-nugQdWB-irl7hFljvTZ0d2kwEfYzcjXGv17XAPM-aMxqNUo/s500/Nancy%20TCP%20FoodVa.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZeLMWz3nScLfaiDtnyye81VppNrO9MWksna63Af4OpF9qjXvK6u79lf-Femm6FWZWFuU_zqGty9On8T07amwgP_DVNy-Lu6qDoaQ5vJl6GEa1lQ12Nci3AdSnH6bl-cF_Ie-FEIdAOVV7-nugQdWB-irl7hFljvTZ0d2kwEfYzcjXGv17XAPM-aMxqNUo/s16000/Nancy%20TCP%20FoodVa.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVybeSygUuJmd_SCnDz-Xx9oOc4oDi8raGVMtPgou_yNIi8IkpkaXO6VXJso0Dhl2_UoLawzyO34nIXvNI2Iui5vH-O5NBKwYHw2j9QEDYA5pEEnVYr5JT9VZCFKyssBPH6_jafcihCWVBAUl6SZZAyswFrs3pH-v4OyIPgDPxEsm5I2k0sk0bYO-5oLS_/s500/Nancy%20TCP%20FoodVb.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVybeSygUuJmd_SCnDz-Xx9oOc4oDi8raGVMtPgou_yNIi8IkpkaXO6VXJso0Dhl2_UoLawzyO34nIXvNI2Iui5vH-O5NBKwYHw2j9QEDYA5pEEnVYr5JT9VZCFKyssBPH6_jafcihCWVBAUl6SZZAyswFrs3pH-v4OyIPgDPxEsm5I2k0sk0bYO-5oLS_/s16000/Nancy%20TCP%20FoodVb.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-oFQ6pZc0MZgzFOqx3qtF2wT0A9Xwihj6wTyRXnk1LTvs886aEfbKmmY_WKH0MoEUIZTMm5VLcN2tXOt7qbqS5tb9BEgKihrC5-5LD0jtIYUYnsHOUDS3l6g8z5EaTpp625aq6GAry9WYzfAv8OhkvsDYHRwwXc3gwc-hTXgdlq0UjYLGlb7v9Klp7TnR/s500/Nancy%20TCP%20FoodVc.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-oFQ6pZc0MZgzFOqx3qtF2wT0A9Xwihj6wTyRXnk1LTvs886aEfbKmmY_WKH0MoEUIZTMm5VLcN2tXOt7qbqS5tb9BEgKihrC5-5LD0jtIYUYnsHOUDS3l6g8z5EaTpp625aq6GAry9WYzfAv8OhkvsDYHRwwXc3gwc-hTXgdlq0UjYLGlb7v9Klp7TnR/s16000/Nancy%20TCP%20FoodVc.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Products: The Cat's Pajamas digital stamps, Michael's and Neenah cs, Picket Fence Studios pearls, Sakura Gelly Roll pen, MFT die, Copic Markers</span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: center;">Copics: Tomatoes-R11, R14, R17, G12, G14; Hearts-R21, R22, R27</div><div style="text-align: center;">Copics: Mushrooms/Hearts-R21, R22, R27, E40, R81</div><div style="text-align: center;">Copics: Raspberry-RV11, RV13, R14, RV17; Blueberry-BV01, BV02, BV04; Stem/Leaves-G12, G14; Juice Drops-B000</div></span><p>Have you started your Valentines day cards yet?

How cute is that sweet bunny building his own snow bunny?! I kept it simple by printing a fairly small version using onto linen cardstock then cut out with a fun die. I added some more landscape lines with a Copic Multiliner pen and then colored the image with Copic markers. I used a stitched edge die to cut from red cardstock for the background, embossing the top edge with a border type embossing folder. For my touch of metallic I added a die cut word using an older TCP die which was cut from thin gold metallic cardstock and a couple of small sequins from my stash. </p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: center;">Products: The Cat'[s Pajamas digital stamp, Kaisercraft, PTI and Michaels cs, Darice embossing folder, PTI die, Copic Markers</div><div style="text-align: center;">Copics: Bunny-E50, E51, E53, W00, E81, Snowman/Snow-C00, C1; Scarf/Buttons-R22, R24, R27</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmv__tTG3D-zXgxN05fxrTNakrwiCUdnoXCjMOWDbSw9dG4cmDnTVOxubkyRRcTpHu2LIhQljsMbM2T2Swd4USlvOmajave0oIUXA-tD0-LPVEabW8w0wX3A6uQh3EWC05EvbW6-4fd7h8ap2iJ-bsOTbGTiucNPdq7izD-ClcSye5cBqYa3affu3_R2A0/s500/Nancy%20Day1-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmv__tTG3D-zXgxN05fxrTNakrwiCUdnoXCjMOWDbSw9dG4cmDnTVOxubkyRRcTpHu2LIhQljsMbM2T2Swd4USlvOmajave0oIUXA-tD0-LPVEabW8w0wX3A6uQh3EWC05EvbW6-4fd7h8ap2iJ-bsOTbGTiucNPdq7izD-ClcSye5cBqYa3affu3_R2A0/s16000/Nancy%20Day1-3.jpg" /></a></div><p>The last card features one of the easiest ways to to add metallic.

I placed him onto a framed piece with foam dimensionals for extra dimension. Since I had the inks on my craft table from another project I decided to use again by blending on <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">celery, limelicious and pearfection inks on the top edge of a soft stone top folded card base. I then splashed on a mixture of white acrylic paint and water using a fan brush. After the panel dried, I added a patterned paper border strip below the inked portion, then attached the framed image piece.

My husband just finished up 6 weeks of radiation therapy and frankly we've been preoccupied with the whole healthcare process. And since we have been so busy we are so behind on everything. The landscaping is out of control except the grass which a very kind neighbor has been mowing and edging for us. We haven't even thought of a vacation and frankly the house could use a good clean! And in the midst of all this my laptop died and I've had to replace and do a restore but some items are still missing. Obviously, crafting has taken a back seat. But.....thanks be to God, Don is now considered cancer free and that is all that really matters. </p><p>It seems most of the card making world has moved on to autumn and Christmas already so this will be the last of my cards that even looks remotely summery. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQzpFZzN616ePbqLYSIto-5KuCEt7KZcP2CTud8mJ7hqfKCyTf3-f1SlHILtS7DF0gQuwK1kfwLbN9mDJ8Zw656eNaE6N0xoHA59vBhXVCeflM4aB65eCDe9WhrX_9tbN6v_XAxHGrlJM_r9b8xS88ALJQ04wFL1euEYtJ5s6Hl51HOdOvWwvmx4KmH72/s600/Nancy%20POD%20GardenBushesFlora&Fauna.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQzpFZzN616ePbqLYSIto-5KuCEt7KZcP2CTud8mJ7hqfKCyTf3-f1SlHILtS7DF0gQuwK1kfwLbN9mDJ8Zw656eNaE6N0xoHA59vBhXVCeflM4aB65eCDe9WhrX_9tbN6v_XAxHGrlJM_r9b8xS88ALJQ04wFL1euEYtJ5s6Hl51HOdOvWwvmx4KmH72/s16000/Nancy%20POD%20GardenBushesFlora&Fauna.jpg" /></a></div><p>I stamped <a href="https://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-garden-bushes/" target="_blank"><b>Garden Bushes</b></a> from <b><a href="https://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/" target="_blank">Purple Onion Designs</a></b> onto Copic friendly cardstock along with the smallest butterfly from the <a href="https://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-flora-fauna-set-flowers-butterflies/" target="_blank"><b>Flora & Fauna</b></a> set colored with Copic markers.
