Hello! Today I have a fun post to share with a VIDEO! I’m showing you how you can use an everyday item (newspaper) on your cards today.
I thought today would be the perfect time to share this technique because I have the cutest Bernese Mountain Dogs stamps to share from Jessica Lynn Originals.
Take a look at these cuties:
I colored them up with Copics. The one on the left uses the Warm Greys (W3, W5, W7, W9) and the one on the right uses Neutral Greys (N3, N5, N7, N9). See the difference in colors?
These are super fun to color up! I thought they’d be fun to pair with newspaper! So two of my cards today feature newspaper as a design element.
In this first one I used some Gesso to give it more of a subtle whitewashed look for my card.
And in this second card, I used some Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke to ink up the paper-wrapped flowers. This sweetheart brought in some flowers for your birthday! He looks pretty pleased with himself.
Here’s a close up to show a bit more of that detail in the fur. By adding small lines and dots, you give the fur more texture and I think it makes him look so dapper! (Do people even use that word anymore? Lol.)
Watch my video below or on YouTube to see the tricks I share in using such a thin paper on your cards:
For my last card, I wanted to use that sitting Bernese Mountain Dog to share a message:
How cute is he? He does Love You, you know. Aren’t dogs just the best for showing love?!
I hope you enjoyed these projects today. For more information about this set and her other cute stamps that are available, visit Jessica Lynn Originals here.
