Unity - Someone Left the Gate Open

 

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a birthday card I made for my sister-in-law, who I found out over Christmas loves cows.  I saw this image from Unity - Someone Left the Gate Open and had to get it.  I think is a really fun image and was on sale.

I stamped the cow image on the PTI Vintage Cream base card and also on white cardstock.  The image stamped on white cardstock was colored with Copic markers.  I extended the neck of the cow image slightly, maybe 1/4".  

  I fussy cut the colored image cutting off the whiskers and adhered it to the base card which was stamped also to show the whiskers.  Then, added some weathered barnwood patterned paper to create a wall for the cow to look over, with sentiment sign and black cardstock trim.  

I saw a card sample on Unity's website with the cow image looking out the barn door which was the inspiration for this card.

Copic colors:

0, E50, E51, W0, W1, W2, W3, N7, YR01

This card just makes me smile.

Spellbinders - Poinsettia Corner Christmas Card

 Happy Sunday!

Today, I have my 5th Christmas card to share.  This card uses Spellbinders - Poinsettia Corner Press Plate and is colored with Copic Markers.  This image uses the Spellbinders BetterPress System and metal poinsettia press plate image.  This plate image has really fine details and was a fun image to color.  I used Memento black ink which is ideal for Copic markers and PaperTrey ink white cardstock 4.25 x 5.5".  

Copic Colors: R35, R37, R39, G40, G43, G46, E23, E25, E29

The image was printed in the corner of a 4.25 x 5.5" piece of cardstock. To create the box attached to the image, I cut 1" in from 2 sides and cut up to the image.  Then, I did some fussy cutting from the box around the outer edge of the image.  The sentiment is from a Spellbinders stamp set STP-023 "To You and Yours" which I bought several years ago.  The green mat (3.75 x 5") is Bazzill Ivy Cardstock and base card is PTI White cardstock. I added a Spellbinders Fashion Gold Embellishment to the center of the poinsettia to finish the card.

I will post my last 2024 card on Christmas Day.

Thanks for Stopping by...

Blessings to you,
