I absolutely fell in love with the MFT Stamps Birdie Brown medical digital stamp freebies<\/a><\/span> offered this month. Unlike a lot of freebies, they\u00a0 were really illustrated with a lot of details and they were perfect for all of the cards I hope to make for our medical heroes during this Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Because I wanted to emphasize the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) that our EVERYDAY ESSENTIAL WORKER HEROES are sorely in need of, I downloaded the digis and then convertd them to jpg. Then I could edit them a bit using paint.net, to erase the noses and mouths, so that I could doodle on face masks and gloves using a 0.05 pt black Copic Multiliner Pen<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I colored the female doctor with my go-to coloring medium, Copics, and then I had some fun trying to add more vibrancy and detail with some Prismacolor Premium Colored Pencils<\/a><\/span>: <\/a><\/p>\n For the background, I decided to use a bunch of the sentiment stamps from Newton’s Nook Designs “Thankful Thoughts”<\/a><\/span>. I positioned the words at a diagonal and inked up each row with rainbow bright springy colors of Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Festive Berries<\/a><\/span>, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed<\/a><\/span>, Twisted Citron<\/a><\/span>, Broken China<\/a><\/span> and Wilted Violet<\/a><\/span>. Where my MISTI<\/a><\/span> slipped while stamping the Spiced Marmalade<\/a><\/span> row, I used the matching Spiced Marmalade Distress Marker to tidy it up! As this extra layer of ink darkened that row, I decided to mount it on a similarly colored card stock card base to make it look more intentional. I also used the Mustard Seed and Broken China Markers to balance out the color saturation a bit throughout the background.<\/p>\n CLICK on the following picture to watch the process video:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Disclosure<\/span>: Many of the supplies I\u2019ve used for today\u2019s project are linked.\u00a0Some may be affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
