Loves Rubberstamps - Sensational Sunday Inspiration 3/24

Good Sunday Morning!

I hope you are have a fantabulous weekend!  I am back today with a post for Loves Rubberstamps Sensational Sunday Inspiration!   I hope the weather is turning warm where you are and any signs of winter are fading.  I have a fun little card for you today!  I love the bright colors and when I sat down to lay this card out, I had one special little girl in mind.  She is so sweet, talented and such a good young lady.  This year for her birthday she wants a Zebra-riffic party!  What fun that will be!

So I started by stamping the Saturated Canary image, Bella, onto cryogen paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  She is colored with copics.  I choose bright pink and green since they are such fun colors.  I don't know about you, but I would love to be outside right now roller blading.  My family tells me I am too old and need to give it up due to a couple of accidents in the past, but it is such a free feeling.  I just love it!  Anyhow, after the image was colored, I used Spellbinders Labels 25 die to cut her out.  I used Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick distress ink to ink the edges.  The papers are from the Echo Park, Love Story collection.



The card itself is a 5x7 and I made a little pocket so I could fit a tag in it.  Can you see the pink ribbon on both the outside and the tag?  Well, it started out white.  I used my copics to color it and make it match the rest of the card.  I just did not have that color ribbon in my stash.  I used a jewel on top of the bow and added a bit of white tulle behind it.  The edges were punched with a fiskars scalloped punch.  I tied some more tulle around the outside and added a black and pink flower to match.


The tag below is cut out of black cardstock.  I added some more Echo Park, Love Story paper to the bottom of the tag and finished off the top with ribbon (colored with copics), tulle, a flower and a brad.  The sentiment is embossed and hard to see in the picture, but it says Dare to be Fabulous by Stampin Up.  It shines in person!



Copics used:  
Skin: E000, E00, E21
Hair:  E11, E13, E15, E18
Shirt/Socks/Skates:  C3, C5, C7, RV10, RV23, RV14, RV25, YG000, YG03, YG06
