I mentioned having some exciting news yesterday. You all know how much I love Stampavie stamps. I fell in love with them this spring and have had so much fun using them (and have a huge wishlist! lol). They recently had a design team call and I was one of the lucky ladies chosen to join the design team!! I am so excited and honored to get to work with them!
In honor of joining the design team, I have to share a card with a Stampavie image today. I used this cute little Hedgehog Popping Bubbles image and paired it with some October Afternoon Fly a Kite patterned papers.
After coloring my image with copic markers and cutting it out with a spellbinders rectangle nestability die, I added some Glossy Accents to the bubbles and let it dry. After it was dry, I sponged some yellow ink around the image. I also darkened my twill a little by sponging some of the yellow ink on it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Niki

I am so happy for you!! You really do an excellent job with these images so you are a perfect fit for their team!! And you will never stop amazing me with your ability to pair patterned papers together!! I LOVE this combination! Althouth they come from the same pack, their designs and colors are so different that I would have never paired them together...you rocked the look though!!
