So Sweet of You

Hello, hello!

I hope you had a fabulous Christmas, and holiday break!  I am coming down from sweets, and binge watching old episodes of Sherlock.  Love that show...so sad I have to wait a year to see more!  

I have managed to make a card or two while enjoying my break, and that includes playing with some new Copic Markers.  Oh, how I love these markers!  For my clean and simple card today, I used a super cute set from Wplus9, that the i {heart} papers store currently has, Punny Produce: Pears.  I also paired it with the really fun Simply Said die and stamp set from Avery Elle.


To begin, I stamped the pear image onto a white card base, and colored it in with YG21, YG23, YG25.  I went back in for more shadow using YG63, and YG67.  


I added a bit of shadow under the pears, and then took the You die cut and, gasp!  Cut into my image!  That was slightly nerve wracking, since I just spent all of that time coloring it, however, I am super happy with the look.  I die cut a bunch of You's from black card stock and layered them up, adding the final layer.


I then glued that back into the slot, after adhering a bit of typing paper behind the negative.  Love!  It's just super simple, yet complex.  Stop on by the i {heart} papers store, see what's there!

Thanks for stopping by!
