Passing Along Challenge Card | Cutest Raccoon Love

Today, I'm teaming up with my friends Jammie Clark of Sweet Sentiment, and Becky Roberts of Inking Idaho, to bring you a different kind of challenge.  Jammie, Becky, and I, all live close to one another, and all love card making - though we each have different strengths.  Jammie is a fabulous Copic Color Artist, and Becky can put a gorgeous card together - likely with one hand tied behind her back and one eye closed. Me, I like to play with different mediums and techniques to create something pretty.  

The Challenge

We decided to create a challenge that allowed us to each complete a step in a card.  Jammie selected and colored an image, I created the background, and Becky took both of those pieces, and completed the card.  

The Inked Background 

I created the background with Distress Oxide Inks, masks created from painters tape and  Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud and Grassy Border dies, and the Life Changing Blender Brushes (all supplies listed and linked at the bottom of the post).  I taped the card stock to my work surface, and then blended in the background from the ground up!  This type of scene building means keeping both portions of the mask when it is cut, so that you can cover the parts you have already inked, and keep from blending your grass into your sky.  

The Copic Colored Image

Jammie colored up the Raccoon Smootch Digi Stamp from Paper Nest Dolls, using Copic markers, and a white jelly roll pen.

Copic Colors Used:

110, W10, W8, W6, W4, W2, W00

C6, C4, C2, C0

E35, E33, E31

R59, R39, R29, R17, R14, R05

Completing the Card

Once she had received both parts, Becky completed the card using the Honeybee Stamps Bee Bold Alphabet Dies, the Concord & 9th Monster Love Stamp Set, and the Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frames.  

This card turned out super cute, and you have a chance to win it!  

Simply follow all three of us on Instagram, and comment on each of our posts for this card by 11:59 PM, MST, on Saturday the 26th of January.  One lucky winner will receive this card.
