Swinging by to say hi

This pretty lady is from The Glittering Trapezist clear stamp set.

I stamped her out coloured her with copics and added shiny touches with an acrylic gold paint pen from Nova. Then I masked her and created the back ground by ink blending Spun sugar, kitsch flamingo and wilted violet distress oxide inks using the cloudy skies stencil from Heffy Doodle.

The sentiment is from the Heffy Doodles chimply the best clear stamp set from Heffy Doodle.

I Love you

I think we are all missing people at the moment. Here we are in lock down and I am not able to see my boyfriend as we don't live together. Of course we are still in touch and are looking forward to when we can get back together but in the meantime I thought I would make him a card. 

I was watching a live stream yesterday and someone said about a critter holding letters so that gave me the idea for this card :)

I have used the super cute Chimply the best stamps and dies for the main feature. I coloured them with Copics. I can not tell you how excited I am to have copics. I have wanted them for over 10 years and I have to say I am not disappointed. The only problem now is that I want them all.....my bank account is not so sure about that though 🤣

For the background I used Tumbled glass, Peacock feathers and blue print sketch oxide inks for the blue back ground and then used stitched rectangle dies for both the blue back ground and the rectangle to frame the chimps. For the one around the chimps I altered it to be thinner just so it worked better for the layout.

The letters that the chimps are holding are from the stitched alphabetters dies and they were very easy to put in the chimps arms as the chimply the best dies have some really good internal cut lines which cut around the arms for you. The heart is cut using the whole lotta hearts die.

And the grass is another die called grassy lass. I added a bit of mowed lawn distress oxide ink to add some dimension to the grass.
