Hey there I am back with another card project! Today I am playing with a Digital stamp set from the Not 2 Shabby shop, The Farmers Market. This set was hand drawn Jamie, the owner of Not 2 Shabby. This is a digital stamp set has 12 images that can be downloaded, printed, and colored by you. When you purchase this set, for just$ 5.99 will get 5 PNG files. One sheet of sentiments and images pre-sized, just print and color and all four images on separate PNG files so you can resize them as you wish. I used both the pre-sized images and the actual farm stand image I re-sized to make my shape card.
This card is part of the Not 2 Shabby September Digital Challenge. Each month we have a new challenge for you to play along with, this month we are using a Digital Stamp + a Traditional Stamp.
We invite you to join in the fun! Grab a Not 2 Shabby Digital stamp and create a card using it along with any traditional stamp you want. Post it to Instagram and hashtag it #not2shabbydigichallenge so we can find each other.
Now let's take a look at the card I created for this challenge!
You can also view this card and the making of it in this YouTube video.I enlarged the farm stand image to be as close to 4-1/4" wide as I could and printed it so it was at the very bottom of the page. This way I could score the card at the top of the stand and fold it in half to create a shape card. So the stand is the card, it is not mounted on to a card. I also omitted the word OPEN at the very top of the stand by covering it with a white square before printing it out. This allowed me to add an additional stamped image to the top of the stand to give it a custom name. I stamped "Scarecrow Kisses" from the Happy Fall stamp set to the sign so that this is a specific Farmers Market stand, the Scarecrow Kisses Farmers Market! Then I set to coloring in my images with Copic Markers.
Here is what I used to color...
I printed my image out using my HP Envy 7645 Printer.
I used light weight, cheap, white card stock purchased at Walmart in a ream to print my image on.
This has always worked for me with my Digital images and I am able to color them with no issue using my Copic Markers.
I used two other images from the Happy Fall set, the Crow and the pumpkin. I added them to the front of the card for more depth and interest.
Now on to the inside of the card. I had to line it because for one I used light weight card stock and two, the Copic coloring shows through to the inside.
I cut two pieces of Oatmeal Cookie card stock to 4-7/8" x 3-7/8" so I would have two liners.
The liner that is on the top half of the card I stamp tone on tone with a gingham background stamp so it was not just plain. I repeated that look of gingham with a stamped strip on the bottom that was the perfect spot to add another pumpkin a crow.
I also used one of the sentiments from the Farmers Market digi stamp set for the inside, "Love you veggie much". SO cute!
