Hello Friends, As you know it’s still STAMPtember™ at Simon Says Stamp and even though you saw these I still wanted to share them on my blog just in case you missed them.
Creating these four cards was a labor of love that I enjoyed immensely! I would love to hear if you have tried this technique (USING THE MINI MISTERS WITH COPIC INK??) If you missed my guest spot at Simon Says you can see it here. Below I will give you a quick refresher… if you are interested…read on. Supply list will be at the bottom. 🙂
Stamp twice …once on the masking paper. Cut image away from the masking paper and place on your card stock. Keep in mind the cutting doesn’t have to be prefect because you will be blending with the same ink.
Spray your papers using this color catcher. If you dont’ have one I recommend it. These are the colors I used. First I started with ONE color then decided to add another one. So much fun!

Once you lift your mask off put it back onto the blue backing of the masking paper. Use a Copic marker to add a darker color from the same family to highlight your image
Learn from your mistakes…lol I should have masked off the snowy area so instead I blotted off some of the color with the various ink and colored it green.
Then use a rag and the various ink to add texture to your grass. Use a heat gun after coloring so you don’t over saturate your paper. I added a pink highlight around the image for something different and covered the snowy dots with enamel accents.
Don’t you love what enamel accents can do. I always use it for animals eyes and usually the nose too.
The snow that was on the stamp needed to come from somewhere so I used this cloud die to complete my card. Notice the wobble spring behind the head…love how these give an nice edge to your cards. I trimmed my wobble sprint to fit behind his head. I think that’s it…Any questions just send me an email or if you want to share that would be lovely too. I know you are busy so a big thanks for taking the time to pop in. Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy

I love that bear’s bobbing head & the enamel accents details; the small things are what make your creations so special. the backgrounds really are amazing combined with the marker edging of the images.

Fabulous -as always – thanks for sharing
I love them all. The copic spritzing really made your stamped images pop and what a nice way to make your own background. I love the lacey die cut you stamped on too. And you’re always about the lovely details, like the snow and a place for it to fall from. And the wobble for the bear’s head is so much fun. I love the dimention it gave it too.
This is really a gorgeous technique! Reinkers need to be on my list.
