Winter Buddies: A card created with a Blue Knight Rubber Stamps September New Release Stamp Set

 Hello my Crafty and Creative Friends!

Today, I'm excited to share a card created with another fabulous Blue Knight Rubber Stamps September New Release stamp set!


I find myself saying this often lately when sharing my Blue Knight cards here at my blog...and here I am, saying this again...
If you are a card maker who needs to create Christmas/Holiday cards in multiples...whether its 6 cards...or 106 cards....WINTER BUDDIES is the stamp set for you!

With just  a few Copic markers...PanPastels...pencils...or water coloring supplies...you can whip up a stack of this card in no time.

I stamped the image onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Card Stock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
I chose to create my card with Copic Marker coloring...
A few dark grey markers...a few blues...and some browns for the bunny.
And ...a little bit of orange blending for the snowman's nose.
(You don't need  huge stash of Copics to create this card)
I highlighted the snow with a very light blue and then added light strokes of Ink on 3 Liquid Pixie Dust over the blue highlights...as well as the edge o the snowman's hat.
I stamped the sentiment right onto the image piece and highlighted the edges of the lettering with the same light blue marker that I used to highlight the snow.
I chose black card stock and an icy blue LCI PAPER metallic card stock for matting...
And.... Wha-la!...A card!
Correction...
Wha-la!...A card in very little super speedy time.

How cute are these guys!
(Too cute, I say!)

Creating a Card with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Sorrowful Pup New Release Stamp

Hello my crafty and creative friends!

It's no secret that I am a ridiculous woman when it comes to our dog , Jackson.
Yes, I am over the edge..totally cuckoo for our handsome boy....an around these parts, that's common knowledge!

This is our sweet boy, Jackson...
On the left: when we adopted him as a Rescue Pup....and on the right, 2 years later...looking all grown up and very very handsome.

So, with me being totally cuckoo for our pup...and all pups on the planet and beyond...it makes sense that I am loving Blue Knight Rubber Stamps New Release SORROWFUL PUP stamp!

I was really happy to sit down to create today's card!


I started out by stamping this sweet and adorable and wonderfully detailed image onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, using one of my stamp positioning tools.

I chose the Copic colors that I wanted to use to color the puppy, as well as the grass and flowers.
After the image was colored..I lifted some ink from a few ink pads to add the blended (s)blue, yellow and green color to the background. I also brushed a little bit of green ink over the Copic highlighted grassy area.

Next, I used a double stitched rectangle die to die cut the image. I chose red matte card stock and green LCI Metallic card stock for matting. The matted image piece was positioned with foam, for added dimension

The SORROWFUL PUP stamp set comes with 2 sentiments...I chose the "Missing You" sentiment for this card.
After it was stamped, I inked the white card stock a bit and added metallic green matting behind the sentiment banner. I used small foam dimensionals to position the sentiment piece.

I am smitten!
This sweet pup will be stamped and colored by me... and made into MANY cards in the future...


And guess what!?
The SORROWFUL PUP stamp is the New Release stamp that will be the Giveaway prize this month!
So head on over to the FANS OF BLUE KNIGHT RUBBER STAMPS Facebook group HERE, to enter!
