National Teen Self Esteem hop 2023

This is my card I have created for the Instagram #nationalteenselfesteemhop23

A great group of crafters have come together to spread love, joy and encouragement to our younger generation. Do you have a teenager in your household or maybe a younger child who struggle with Self Esteem, please share with them the lovely projects in this hop and maybe they can take some encouragement away from it!

I just couldn't resist using these great stamps from C.C. Designs. They are just the perfect example of young people with very different characters all coming together to do good. Most importantly they do it by being themselves!

I have used a combination of stamp sets to make this card. I used the girl, the BFF and the friends to be able to put all of these key characters from the hit Netflix show together.

I used the ink that was left on my blending brushes to make the rainbow of colours behind them then added some splatters with Brushed pewter distress spray stain.

I coloured them using the following copics:

Hair - W9,W7,W5

Skin - E11, E00

You don't look a day over fabulous

How adorable is this C.C. Designs cutie?? I think is is just the cutest :D She is from the Rockabilly Gals stamp set and I coloured her up with Copic markers. I used the blender pen to give her top some white dots.

The fun paper I have used with this card is actually a Christmas paper set but I really love it when you can stretch your stash and use things like papers for more than just one season. This paper is from the Jolly Holidays paper pack by First Edition. 

I really wanted to give it a little touch of shine so I used some double sided tape and gold foil from Stix2 to give the rectangle she is sat on a frame. Then I finished it with one of the sentiments from the Rockabilly Gals stamp set.

Handyman Henry

This great fun stamp is from C.C.Designs and is called Handyman Henry I coloured him up with spectrum noir tri-blend markers. I used up scraps of card and patterned paper that I had saved for this card. I think the yellow check paper from Time For Tea's Rainbow brights paper pack really works well with this guy :) 

I hand drew some little screws onto the black card strips using a white gel pen and then used a black liner pen to edge around the patterned paper and the card blank. The sentiment comes in the stamp set.

 International art and soul - Masculine
