I have two projects to share with you today. The first one is a tag I designed using Wonderland Tea Creative Scraps and Greetings from Wonderland stamp set from Crafty Secrets. I hand cut the tag image, rabbit, key hole and ticket from the Wonderland Tea Creative Scraps. I used Copic marker BG72 Ice Ocean to color in the checker border and on the ribbon. Then I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I stamped the sentiment on to the tag and the cat onto Simply Smooth White Cardstock and colored with Copics.I added a black eyelet to the top and added the ribbon and added Pink Stickles to the roses.

Supplies
Stamps: Crafty Secrets Greetings from Wonderland
Paper: Discount Cardstock Simply Smooth White
Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black; Ranger Vintage Photo Distress Ink; Copic Markers
Accessories: Crafty Secrets Wonderland Tea Creative Scraps; Ranger Pink Stickles; SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™ 3D Foam Squares; Ribbon, Eyelet

For my second project I designed a sweet little boy card. I think the Little Boys stamp set from Crafty Secrets is so adorable!I started by stamping several of the images from the Little Boys stamp set using Rich Cocoa ink. Then I started to add color using Copic markers. Next I added the greens for the shirt and the grass. I used three Copic colors for the hair.These are the Copic colors I used for the skin, eyes and cheeks and lips.After all of the coloring was done I used the Grand Calibur, S4-307 Reverse Wonky Rectangles #6 and S4-324 Ribbon Banners from Spellbinders to cut/emboss the die cut shapes. Then I inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. To add a little texture to the grass I added Ultra Fine Sage Flower Soft.I stamped the image of the frog, colored with Copic markers and added a 3D Foam Square to pop him up.I stamped the images of the airplane, colored with Copic markers and added a 3D Foam Square to pop it up. I also added faux stitching lines around the edge.For the base of the card I used LF-246 Grand Labels Eleven.
