Single Layer Birthday Card | CraftyPaws

After doing lots of very layered and detailed projects, I was really wanting to do a Clean and Simple (CAS) style card. Because I am not a very neat colorer (staying within the lines is not my forte — LOL), I usually fussy cut all of my colored images, so to do a single layer card presented its own challenges for me.

20150403_140929I picked a Saturated Canary stamp called “Little Loves,” which I received as part of my DT package fromĀ the Not2ShabbyShop, and decided to makeĀ a CAS card that would fit a #10 (business size) envelope, just to mix it up a bit. šŸ™‚

Remember the Not2ShabbyShop is having an Easter sale through April 6, 2015. Use the coupon code: EASTER20 for 20% off your entire order. For the rest of April 2015, use the coupon code CRAFTYPAWS for 10% off! All orders of $60 or more also get free US shipping!Ā 

I stamped the imageĀ out onĀ a piece ofĀ Georgia Pacific Card Stock,Ā which is whatĀ I usually use for Copic coloring. Then I also stamped her out on a scrap of paper to make a quick mask so that I could use the happy birthday stamp from the Simon Says Stamp “Handwritten Borders”Ā on either side of the girl. Because the “happy birthday” was not quite long enough to extend across the length of this longer card, I masked off the stamp with some tape, inked the stamp, removed the tape, and re-stamped more of the swirls from the happy birthdayĀ stamp to extend the sentiment.

I used the following Copic colors to color up the image:
Skin: E50, 51, 53 and R20 (blush)
Hair: C7, C9 and B00
Eyes and butterfly: B00, 02, 04, and 08
Lips and hair barrette: R22 and 24
I also used a bit of Glossy Accents, Clear Wink of Stella, Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen, and a 0.3 point black Copic Marker Multilinerto add some shine, shimmer, highlights and clarifying details (like more eyelashes and eye liner).

The following is a video of the whole card making process:
