Hugs - Rachel Vass Designs

 Hi friends! Today's card features the new Hugs set from Rachel Vass Designs latest release.  It's such a sweet set.

Purchase HERE

And here's the card I created.

I flipped the bunny image and printed it out onto Bristol Smooth paper.  I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color the images.  I cut the colored image out with the Stitched Tag Corner rectangle dies from My Favorite Things.

The card base is a medium olive tone.  I cut a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4".  I splattered it with an olive ink that I watered way down.  I found the two washi tapes in my stash and added them to the bottom of the white panel.  Then I added it to the card base.

I put foam tape on the back of the bunny piece and added it to the card.  The sentiment is from the same Hugs set.  I printed it on Bristol as well and cut it apart to suit my design.  I added foam tape to the first line and glued the second line flat to the card.  All done! 

Did you see the kangaroo image included in the Hugs set?  I can't wait to make a card with it as well!

I'm also included two of the other cards I maded using new Rachel Vass Design sets.  I had shared them over on Instagram but wanted to share them here as well!

Tea Pot

I can hardly believe it but I have managed to make a fourth card for the Coffee Lovers blog hop!  This time I went with a tea theme.  I really LOVE coffee but I also enjoy tea so I wanted to show it some love.

First thing I did was to create the main card panel.  I cut a piece of natural ivory cardstock down to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  Then I used an embossing folder from Stampin Up! in the center of the card.  Next I lightly sponged Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink over the embossed area and around the top edge of the panel.

I picked out a piece of patterned paper from the Echo Park Coffee Collection paper pad.  I used one of the Hero Arts tea cup dies to cut the patterned paper.  I felt it needed some shading to give it more life.  I used Copic markers BG75, BG72 and BG70.  I just freehanded some lines and blended them out until I was happy.  I gave this a spritz with a gold glimmer spray and set it aside.

Now for those lovely flowers!  I used the Flower Silhouettes stamps and dies from My Favorite Things for all of them.  I pulled out my Altenew mini ink cubes to find inks that would coordinate with the patterned paper.  The colors I picked were Blush, Coral Bliss and Heart Beat for the pinks/reds.  Forest Glades and Evergreen for the greens.  I stamped out several of the flowers and leaves in various color combinations.  Then I cut them all out with the coordinating dies.  I started to play around with the layout on the card.  I would lay the tea pot over the flowers and moved the pieces around until I was happy with it.

I removed the tea pot carefully and used a piece of Glad Press n Seal to hold all of the flowers together.  I turned the whole thing over and used a combination of the Zig 2-way glue and Tombow mono multi glue to adhere them together.  Then I added glue to the whole piece and layed it down on the card.  I layed a stamp block on top and let it sit for just a few minutes.  While it was drying, I added foam tape to the back of the tea pot.  I peeled off the Press and Seal and splattered gold Finetec paint over the entire card panel BEFORE adhering the tea pot over the flowers.  Some of the flowers and part of the tea pot were hanging over the edge of the panel.  I simply cut them off with a pair of scissors.

The very last step was to add it to a card base made out of 110lb Neenah Solar white cardstock and this bad boy was done!
