I’m trying to use my Brother ScannCut DX a bit more and I have some awesome cutting files that I want to use. I knew I had this svg file and am entering the finished card in the current Inspired by Challenge.

Retro Girl
Such a fun theme at the current Time Out Challenges – Retro with the optional twist of One Layer. My Retro take on this challenge was incorporating Hippie and Flower Power…I had the perfect digistamp from Lily of the Valley – Thoroughly Modern Misses June.
Images
- Printed digistamp onto Hammermill cardstock with inkjet printer. This is safe for colouring with alcohol markers.
- Colour with Copics – B23, B18, B26, R02, R05, R27, Y11, Y32, Y26, E0000, E00, E02, BV00, N0, N2, N4, C1.
Background
- Cut out mask of girl (See ‘Tip’ below).
- Die cut background mask out of copy paper (thin) using Penny Black Antique Frames dies.
- Place masks over printed image (see image ‘Masks‘ below).
- Stamp My Favorite Things Bundles of Blossoms background stamp over masks.
- I then dry embossed using the same Antique Frames die.
Tip for creating mask of digistamp: I scanned image with my Brother Scan n Cut DX1200 and cut out of post it label tape. Otherwise, print out image again on copy paper and hand cut.
Sentiment
- I had the perfect sentiment from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit March 2018. The shape fitted the image perfectly.
- Stamp the sentiment in Versafine Claire Nocturne.
Finishing
- I wanted to spotlight the image so coloured around the outline with Copic Marker ‘C1’.
- Using ATG adhere background to card base.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Have a beautiful day…
A friend is turning 60 shortly and I found the perfect images to use from Mo’s Digital Pencil. I used three digi stamps – Eileen, Potters Corner and Garden Shed Background.
Images
All the images were printed with my inkjet printer onto copic friendly cardstock so I could colour them all with alcohol markers. The potters corner files comes with each item separated so you can build the scene as you want. On the front of the card I added the pot plants in the window and the grow sign onto the front of the shed. As I wanted the scene to be a smaller size the fence didn’t reach the edge of the panel so I freehand drew three more bushes to fill out the scene.
I added the sentiment on the front by stamping a sentiment from My Favorite Things You give me butterflies stamp set onto coloured cardstock with Versamark Embossing Ink. I sprinkled Zing Copper Embossing Powder over the sentiment and heat embossed with an Ozito Heat Tool.
Inside card
The images I used for the inside are cut out with my Brother Scanncut DX1200. I wanted the inside of the card to reflect the inside of the garden shed so I hand drew the panelling of the walls with 4 shades of Copic Markers – W0, W1, W3, W5. The floor was ink blended with Distress Oxide Scattered Straw and Brushed Corduroy. I flicked on some extra Brushed Corduroy to give a more dirt look to the floor.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Summer Bees
Playing along with my first card challenge for 2019 at CAS(E) this Sketch #302. I used Altenew Get Well Soon stamp set and my Brother Scanncut DX1200 for the name.
Firstly, I blended Distress Oxide Inks over the background (Strathmore Bristol Paper) in Wild Honey and Crushed Olive. I then stamped the three honeycomb images in the stamp set with Altenew Honey Drizzle and Warm Sunshine.
I had designed the name with my Scanncut using the draw and cut feature and coloured with copics. The flowers and bees were stamped on copic friendly cardstock with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with the following copic colours.
- Flower – RV69, RV66, V05, RV63, YR07, Y17, YR21, YR16
- Bees – YR07, Y17, YR21, C7, W7, W5, W1, C3
- Name – RV66, V05, RV63
Finally, I popped up the images with difference thicknesses of foam adhesive tape.
Thanks for stopping by.
