Making Memories by Joy Clair Designs for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #185 on the 3rd of July, 2022

 

Hi All!

Welcome to my post about my card for challenge #185, the 3rd of July 2022 challenge for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. I'm writing this on Saturday night and we are just back from my daughter's dance concert, although we had to wait nearly two hours before we saw her - she was performing in the last dance and the finale!

Anyway, here is my completed card:

Prize is 1 digital stamp set!

I chose to print two of the bears from Making Memories as well as one of the sentiments. I have digitally printed the images on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured with the following Copics markers:

• bears - C00, C0, C1, C3, R20
• turquoise/teal - BG11, BG13, B15, BG18
• blue - B93, B95, B97, B99
• antlers - E70, E71, E74
• outline of sentiment - BG15

I have fussy cut out the coloured images and then was looking around at incomplete projects and found a shadow box card that I was going to use for Christmas last year - I have a variation of it here.

Just looking back through my photos and there is not any of this process! Surprising for me!

Anyway, I think I have inked a square of white card stock with Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink, then stamped the square Winter Whimsy Background stamp by La-La Land Crafts with Versamark ink before sprinkling with some glittery white embossing powder from my stash and heat embossing!

I created the shadow box card using the same technique as in the post here, but used white textured card stock for the card and silver paper for the inside.

The sentiment was outlined in black glitter pen, then die cut with one of the flags from Long Flags die set by La-La Land Crafts. The blue snowflake paper on the inside is from the Blue Christmas Paper Pack by La-La Land Crafts.

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a photo of the inside:

Here are some photos of the layout before adhering:
