Hello! Today I’m excited to be a part of the Spread Joy, Not Germs Hop. There are lots of prizes, so be sure to enter (see details below). I am using stamps from the Hedgehog Hollow April 2020 Kit and March 2020 Kit.
When I was creating this card, I was inspired by the events going on today. I created a dark gray city with bright, happy people. See, even with this big challenge, we can be happy and stick together. 🙂
I first stamped the people images with copic-friendly ink. Then I masked them off with masking paper before inking on the gray buildings using a stencil and Distress Oxide ink.
I colored the images in bright colors so they really stood out from the background. The large “always” sentiment is from the March 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit (lettered by Jessica Francisco). I white heat embossed it on black paper then fussy cut around the sentiment.
I stamped the “you” and “me” with black ink, then made a blue mat around them with the same blue Copic marker as on the sweater.
For the video tutorial on how this card came together, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Your card is super cute and I love the background you’ve created with it! I’m on this hop right now to gain inspiration from my fellow crafters as my MOJO has “left the building”! I do find joy from seeing so much of the kindess from other crafters during this weird time in our world, it’s uplifting. My favorite technique right now would be working with watercolor and smooshing onto panels right now! LOL!! TFS!

Adorable!! Love this design! I’m trying to just take more time and not rush… you’d think that would be easy since I’m working from home and save two hours a day not commuting, but somehow I don’t seem to have any more time… I think it’s taken up with disinfecting and such…lol! But I continue to create in my room at a slower pace and I’m enjoying it. Thank you for the inspiration!
