Copic Coloring With Whimsy Stamps!

Hi everybody it's Maria here and I'm excited to be sharing my first post as a guest designer for Whimsy Stamps. From stamps, to stencils, to interactive dies, Whimsy has got such a great variety of product for card making and I had a ton of fun picking out what I wanted to use today. I decided to pair the A Boy's Dream stamp set, the Moon Background and the Star Galaxy Stencil to put this card together. 

I started out by stamping my little alien onto Hammermill cardstock using copic friendly black ink. Then I masked it off with masking paper so that I could easily stamp and inkblend on top of it. Next, I placed the Moon Background stamp so that it would look like the alien was slinking along the surface of the moon and stamped that using my Misti. I stamped the moon again onto masking paper, cut it out and adhered it on top of my moon. That left me with both of my images completely masked off. 

I ink-blended the background using Distress Oxides in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Broken China and Tumbled Glass. Then I used the Star Galaxy Stencil to apply some Nuvo Glacier Paste in Winter White. I love Glacier Paste because it stencils on so easily, allows the background color to show through, and catches the light in such a magical way. In other words, this starry background shimmers like something else!

Once my background was finished I peeled off the masking paper to reveal my stamped images. I colored both the slithery, little alien and the moon using copic markers. I'll list the colors at the end of the post for you. I also added some highlights using a white gel pen.

When my card face was finished, I selected a sentiment from the A Boy's Dream stamp set and heat embossed it in white onto black cardstock to make it pop. Then I trimmed just a smidge off of the left and right sides so that I could mount my card face onto a black cardbase using foam tape. The last step was to attach my sentiment with foam tape and add a few sequins.
