Handmade Paper Hugs

  Hello everyone! Today we are starting a new game over at AAA Birthday challenge blog and the theme for this month is Animals & Critters - right up my alley, right 😉 I decided to use some - new to me - My Favorite Things stamps. No surprise there.  I stamped and Copic colored these images from the MFT Birthday Buds set. I chose to keep it mostly in blues, just for a change. Copics used: E77, E74, E71, E44, E43, E42, E40 YR16 Y38, Y21, Y13, Y00 YG13, YG11 B29, B05, B02, B00 BG57, BG53, BG49, BG15, BG23, BG11 Then I did some emboss resist first white heat embossing the MFT All lined-up background stamp and then ink blending with Cracked pistacio, Mermaid lagoon and Blueprint sketch Oxide inks. I cut the background with a Simple and Basic rectangle die and popped up the critters and cake for dimension before adhering them to the card.  Look how the birdies are completely oblivious that the wind is dragging the balloon - and sheep - in their direction.
