My Favorite Things - Festive Old Friends

Hi Friends!! 

One of my favourite times of the month is here!! Time to kick off another My Favorite Things release countdown. Over the next five days we will showcase the EPIC May 2021 release until it's available for purchase on Tuesday May 4 at 10am EDT.

For my first project, I just has to ink up the Festive Old Friends stamp set...I knew I wanted to create a card recreating a familiar scene that one might see in my house haha! My parents are notorious for falling asleep at get togethers. We often joke that people in our family can fall asleep anywhere under any condition...its sad but true. 

I coloured up the images using Copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating Die-namics. I created a simple but impactful background using the new Punched Pattern Stencil. I took the stencil and ink blended using Prickly Pear Premium Dye Ink and then lifting the stencil up and offsetting it slightly to ink blend again using Candied Yam Premium Die Ink. I feel like it gives the look of a funky retro wallpaper. I masked off the floor area and then ink blended using the same Prickly Pear ink and added some splatter to give the impression that it was carpet.

To finish off my card, I simply stamped the sentiments directly onto my card front with black ink.

Copic Markers:

Light Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20
