JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU'RE THE BEST (1)

For this friendship card I used the Peek-a-Boo Pals stamp set together with the Peek-a-Boo Fair stamp set from Avery Elle.

For the background I did some simple ink blending. Starting from the bottom left corner I used Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Marigold Oxide Inks. I also used those colors to add splatter to the rest of the background.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:

Ferris wheel: C0 - C2 - C3/ Y15 - Y17 - YR38/ R32 - R35 - R39

Bunny: E41 - E43/ E000 - E00/ R01 - R32

Koala: W0 - W3 - W5

Hippo: E41 - E43 - E44/ W0 - W3

Monkey: E25 - E29/ E00 - E21/ R01 - R32

Hearts: R32 - R35 - R39

I die cut the ferris wheel and the rest of the images I fussy cut. I assembled the card and stamped the sentiment in Wild Rose and Carrot Ink.

I used a white gelly roll pen to add highlights and dots to the images. 

I love these Peek-a-Boo Pals. And Avery Elle has loads more of them, so I think I will be expanding my collection with some more of the Peek-a-Boo sets.

WE HAVE SERIOUS CHEMISTRY (1)

 For this love themed card (could also be a friendship card) I used the Cute Chemists stamp set from My Favorite Things. 

For the background, I used the Small Brick Wall stencil and ink blended with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. For the ground I used a piece of Woodgrain cardstock.

I trimmed a rectangle from Black Licorice cardstock. I used a strip of Woodgrain cardstock to add to the bottom of this piece. I wanted it to look like a black board. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and some additional elements with white embossing powder from Lawn Fawn.

I stamped the boy and girl image and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:

Girl: E000 - E00 - E21/ E41 - E43 - E44/ C0 - C3/ E25 - E29/ R35 - R39/ B91 - B93 - B95/ Y15 - Y17

Clipboard: E25 - W29/ C3 - C5 - C7/ YR30 - YR31

I fussy cut the images and assembled the card/ I used a white gelly roll pen to add some highlighst to the black board.

I already know who I will send this too. I have a chemist friend, that I will probably send it to on Valentine's Day.
