The One with the Heffy Doodle Inspiration Hop

Hello everyone. Today is the Heffy Doodle Inspiration Hop. My card today uses the Purrfect Day stamp set and the I love you shadow die set. I guess I was channeling Hello Kitty with this one. I honestly didn't intend to but it is certainly Hello Kitty Flavor!

There is a GIVEAWAY associated with this hop. Heffy Doodle is giving away a Fifty Pound voucher! Comment on each blog along the hop to be entered in the giveaway. The winner will be selected randomly on March 19th and announced over on the Heffy Doodle Blog.

If you scroll down towards the bottom of this post you will find the official blog hop list.

I started this project with a piece of Razzelberry cardstock from Heffy Doodle cut to 3 1/2 by 4 3/4. I used the Heffy Doodle Kalidescope stencil to dry emboss the design from the stencil into the Razzelberry paper. I use my Spellbinders Platinum die-cutting machine to easily do this using the embossing folder sandwich.

To enhance the dry embossed design further I used some Distress Oxide inks. I used some ink blending brushes to darken the pattern left from dry embossing the stencil.

I then took the pink ink blended panel and cut three small alternating rectangles. Behind them, I used three patterned papers that matched well with the theme of the card. I used foam tape to pop up the panel leaving some space between the two layers.

I stamped each of my images with alcohol marker friendly black ink and colored them with my Copic markers. I have made a Copic Color Map showing the colors of each marker used to color my images.

The images were then cut out using the coordinating die set and popped up into place on the card panel using foam tape.

For the sentiment I used the I love you shadow die set from Heffy Doodle. I cut the shadow from some Simply Teal-lious cardstock and layered the word dies over it cut from Neenah 110 lb. Solar White Classic Crest cardstock. I cut it four times and layered them together using liquid adhesive. I adhered the shadow and word die to the panel using clear foam adhesive by Ranger so that it's harder to see.

The finished card panel was then added to a Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock card base cut to size A2 and scored in a top folding portrait orientation. I used tear tape adhesive to do this.
