I’ve never Copic colored an entire background before, but have been wanting to try it for a while now. \u00a0As I sat on my deck reading over work papers, I noticed\u00a0sweet puffy clouds floating by\u00a0overhead, and I knew just what I wanted to make when I got inside.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I thought I would create a simple scene card celebrating summer\u00a0with one of the cute pups from the Some Odd Girl “Preppy Pups” stamp set. I stamped the pup with MFT Black Licorice Hybrid Ink and used the following Copic colors to color up the scene:<\/p>\n

Pug: N1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 (face)\u00a0with\u00a0E51, 53, 21 and Y26 (body)
\nGrass with shadow: YG01, 25 and 45
\nSky with soft grey\/silver lined clouds: B000, 00 and 01 with N0 (coated with clear Wink of Stella for shimmer)<\/p>\n

I used the Diemond Dies Cross-Stitched Square Nesting Die Set<\/a><\/span> to cut out the image and then matted\u00a0it with some shimmery soft grey paper. \u00a0Then I used thin Dollar Tree fun foam underneath to create just a bit of dimension (I wanted to keep it flat for mailing). To add a little more interest, I drew another little puffy cloud with Copics and offset it on top of some more fun foam in the upper right corner.<\/p>\n

I mounted all of this onto a card base made from some\u00a0summer green\/peridot colored card stock. Lastly I added a vellum banner that said “It’s [just] a dog’s life!” after cutting out the “just” so that it would fit without too much overhang on the card. That piece of vellum has been rolling around in my scrap box for about a year, and I’m so happy I finally found a good use for it!<\/p>\n
