Guest Designer for Day of the Month Card Club February Challenge #60 - Random Acts of Kindness

Hello everyone.  I’m excited to be guest designing at Day of the Month Card Club (DotMCC) for their challenge #60 Random Acts of Kindbess Day… in other words, any card that brings joy. 🤗

*please note: affiliate links are used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you… thank you*

I took the opportunity to put the adorable Little Rascal stamp/die sets from my Favorite Things (MFT) to first use, along with a first use MFT sentiment die (already retired), to create this joyful card!


The raccoons were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then die cut out with the matching dies.

Copic markers used:
middle raccoon - C00/1/3/5/7/9 
bottom raccoons - W00/1/3/5/7/9 
cheeks - RV00
ground - T1/3/5, YG03


The sentiment was then die cut from Bristol paper and ombré ink blended with Picked Raspberry distress ink from the bottom up.  Added clear shimmer to it for some sparkle, then used the negative die cut piece to help with letter alignment when assembling the card onto a white card base to finish.


I want to thank the DotMCC design team (DT) and those who voted for my card in December to give me this GD opportunity.  Now are you ready to join the fun?  For all the details, inspirations from the DT and/or to link up your card by February 29, 2024, click HERE.  Thank you for stopping by.
