I just love this fun Willard character from the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Moonlight Whispers line! I couldn't resist using him yet again for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie challenge to make a card with no ribbon or fibers. My card uses the sketch from this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge--it was a great fit for the image.
I colored Willard with Copic markers and carefully cut the image out, then set it aside to assemble the rest of the card.
I combined two bright patterned papers for the panels on the red card base, purposely picking ones that weren't super girly. I used a pair of circle die cuts to make the background panel for my image. For the strip that runs almost the length of the card, I punched a green cardstock strip with a grass punch--perfect for grounding my image--and attached a striped scallop edged strip at the bottom. Before attaching it to the card, I added a pair of silver brads at one end of the strip and stamped the sentiment at the other. Once the pieces were all in place, I added Willard using some foam tape. I finished off the card with a little Stickles on the bee's wings.
Materials Used:
Moonlight Whispers Valentine Willard image (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps); white cardstock (X-Press); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Riding Hood Red, Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze, and Kiwi Kiss cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Modern Homemaker designer paper (October Afternoon); designer paper (American Crafts); circle dies (Spellbinders); medium scallop die (Papertrey Ink); silver brads (Joann); Crystal Stickles (Ranger); foam tape
