Step By Step Instructions:

• Die cut from Copic X-Press paper a baby, a cat and a dog shapes, using the coordinating Oh Baby Die Set. I used on this project Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting machine. Save the negative parts of the dies.
• Stamp the outline illustrations from Oh Baby Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Use the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
• Color the stamps with COPIC MARKERS. I used on this card:
  • skin E50-E51-E53-E55
  • hair E50-E53-E55-E57-E59
  • diaper BG000-BG01-BG05-BG07
  • cat Y32-YR21-YR23-YR24-YR27-E99
  • dog E70-E71-E74-E77-E79
  • collars B63-B66-B69
• Trim and score an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
• Ink the top part with Blueprint Sketch Oxide, Mermaid Lagoon Oxide and Tumbled Glass Oxide Distress inks. Let the ink air dry or heat set it.
• Tape Tumbling Hearts Stencil with a low tack tape to prevent any movement and ink the pattern with a white pigment ink. Please note that white pigment ink takes a white to dry! So don’t mess you pattern! LOL!!!
• Trim an additional rectangle from the same Neenah Solar White paper and stamp the sentiment from Oh Baby Stamp Set toward the top.
• Arrange and pop on a on a foam tape all elements.

That’s all for today!!! As always thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!
Hugs,
