Hi Everyone! It's my turn to post over on the Stampavie blog tonight. When I was deciding what image to use on my card, I came across this adorable Sent from Above image from illustrator Tina Wenke. Tina's images are always some of my personal favorite images from Stampavie. I just love coloring them and creating cards with them. I love creating baby cards, too. I think they are my favorite type of cards to create (along with Christmas cards) and I have a hard time resisting adorable baby images like this one.
I colored the image with markers and used some patterned papers from My Mind’s Eye’s Stella and Rose paper pad. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps' Welcome Baby Sentiments set. I finished the card off with some wooden buttoms and twine. After masking the clouds, I used my air compressor to spray the sky with a BG52 copic marker while the image was still in the nestability die.
If you're looking for a store that stocks many of the Stampavie images, Lacey carries many of them in her store, Stamp and Create. She even has the adorable baby image I used on this card (under the Tina Wenke section).
Have a great day!
Niki
