Inky Creations with Marie

• Cut a rich colored heavy  brown card stock at  5 1/2 inches x 8 8nches.  Scor  the paper at 4 inches to create a top-fold card.   Cut beige card stock at 5 1/4 inches x 3 3/4 inches.   Cut another beige layer for the inside of the card so you can write a personal note.    Adhere the beige layer to the top of the card using double sided tape.    

• Stamp the row of adorable little pups from Paw-fect Pooches Cling Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Dye Ink and Copic Compatible white paper.   Stamp the Bone on Copic Compatible paper.   The sentiment "woof" was stamped on the bone.    The pooch images and bone were colored using Copic  Alcohol Ink Markers.     I used C1, C3, C6, E30, E33 and E35.   I wanted to add more texture to the images so I used some dark grey and dark brown colored pencils to the darkest shadows.  I love adding extra texture but if you try this, make certain to apply the colored on top of your Copic or alcohol ink markers and not under the markers.   You don't want a waxy build-up on your marker nibs.    

• The pooches and bone were cut with the coordinating die cuts.   I used a large ball tip from the Flower Shaping Kit to lightly apply a circular pressure on the underside of the head, body parts and ends on the bone to add some dimension.    I adhered the pooches to the card with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and added some Copic green with my markers for the grass.  I like to use both the flicking and dotting technique to create grass.   I used G17, G21, G40, G45.   I used the Designer Adhesive to add the brown shadow of the bone to the card stock.   I popped up the colored layer of the bone using foam dots for dimension.  I read comments where our viewers would like to see some simple cards that can be mailed easily.   Although the bone has dimension,  This card will go through the mail but you will need to create a custom envelope.    

• The final touch is to add heart shaped sequins to the card using the Dries Clear Adhesive.   The sequins were perfect because.... who doesn't love little pooches!    Woof!  

• The Blushing Rose Stem Cling Stamp Set was stamped twice and the sentiment was stamped once  on X-Press It Blending Card Stock.  The image was colored using Copic Alcohol Ink Markers.  I used BV00, BV11, BV17, G21, G24, YG61 and YG63.   The sentiment background was marbleized  using G21 and BV00  with 70% alcohol.   I usually apply this with a brush or I put alcohol in a designated water brush and touch the tip to the various colors to create a marbleized look.  I applied some dots with a purple liner pen.

• The rose Stems were cut using the Blushing Rose Stem Die.   The base of the tag was die cut with the Eyelet Oval Die.   I used petite nesting oval die for the remaining layers as shown in the picture.    The designer paper was selected from the Blushing Rose paper Collection.   The edges where lightly sponged with Memento LuLu Lavender Ink.  Designer Adhesive - Clear was applied to the edges of the sentiment layer.   Prills (I Cannot Tell A Lilac) were applied.

• The layers were adhered using dimensional dots.    The foam dots in between each layer give the tag some great dimension and interest. The Blushing Rose Stem images were applied to the top and bottom of the tag.    The card was embellished with dark grey pearls.

1. This tag also makes a great focal image that can be adhered to a card - It's not only fun but versatile!

Instructions
Prep the surface and sides of an 8x10 inch canvas with white gesso.  Using texture paste, use the following stencils - Dots, Mini Moving Vines, Mini Organic Matter.   Allow to air dry or use heat tool to speed up the process.

While the texture paste is drying, Stamp the roses using Dusty Concord and the Mini Floret petals with Fossilized Amber Distress Ink.  The sentiment was stamped with embossing ink and fine detail black embossing powder.  The sentiment was heat set.    The lavender flowers were sponged with Dusty Concord Distress Ink and the yellow flowers were sponged using Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber Distress Ink.     Emma Lou has a great video on shaping and assembling  roses HERE. 

Color was applied to the canvas using 3D Stamp Paint.   I used Magenta Metallic, Moss Green Metallic and Gold.   I placed a small amount on my work mat and  worked some spritzed water into the mixture.   I applied the color as shown in the picture.   I like to use foam brushes for this part.   Don't forget to get good coverage on the sides.    Allow to dry.  The sentiment was adhered and the back and edges sealed with clear gesso.

All chipboard was covered with white gesso.   More 3-D Stamp Ink was applied after the gesso dried.
The chipboard was adhered with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   Prills from the Bright Ideas 12 pack were applied to the canvas as shown.  I used You Had Me At Yellow,  Third Place and I Cannot Tell a Lilac.

The canvas was embellished with the roses,  pearls, twine and a decorative brad.
