Jane’s Doodles Challenge #12 - Use a Die Cut

Hello there.  I’m back again today with the next Jane’s Doodles challenge to Use a Die Cut.

I was going to make a Father’s Day card using alphabet dies, but I really wanted to use the new Warm Hugs die from Reverse Confetti.  I thought it paired perfectly with the sweet image from Jane’s Doodles Bear Hugs.   Here’s my card.

I wanted to use my favourite colour blue, but because of the sentiment, I used warm pink.  As you can see, I couldn’t go all the way and added a bit of aqua, too. 😂  So I started by stamping the bear image on a stitch SU! Thick Whisper White panel with Gina K Amalgam Jet Black ink.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to use my Zig or Copic markers and this ink is compatible with both.  Masked the image next, then using blender brushes ink blended Pink Diamond and Dew Drops dye inks from Altenew at the top and bottom, respectively.  Darkened the edges with Black Soot distress ink that was left behind on the mini blending tool.

Removed the mask and stuck with my warm gray Copic markers to add shading.  Die cut the sentiment three times from scraps of white cardstock and stacked for dimension.  Didn’t plan ahead and would have die cut the top layer from white glitter cardstock for some sparkle.  So instead inked the stacked sentiment with VersaMark and heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder.  Die cut the sentiment from dark grey cardstock and offset for a shadow effect.  Added some stars, dots and line details with a white gel pen then assembled on a white card base to finish.

Check out the challenge blog post HERE for more inspirations then link up your project using at least one die and a Jane’s Doodles product.  Thank you for your time.  Have a wonderful week.
