Rocket Car Little Dude Handmade Card

Another sweet Little Dude card, this one’s called Rocket Car. I’ve paired him with First Edition Grand Plans papers and XCut dies.

Digital Stamping

The Digi image is from Polkadoodles, part of their Little Dudes range.  

I print my digital stamps onto Winsor & Newton Bleedproof Marker paper. It’s bright white so my colours really pop and it also helps to stop the inks bleeding into each other.

I’ve coloured this little cutie with my Winsor & Newton BrushMarkers. Here’s the shade’s I’ve used:

Skin Tones

Hair

Red

Orange

Green

Blue

Designer Papers

I’m a big fan of First Edition papers but this Grand Plans stack has been in my stash for a while. I don’t seem to have made many cards for boys lately. But it was perfect for these Little Dudes digital stamps.

A Little Embellishment

I’ve embellished my card with a length of deep navy grosgrain ribbon that I cut off the packaging from my new pyjamas. I love it when I can get craft stash for free!!

I felt the corners needed a little something extra and noticed these Simply Creative star shaped gems in my stash. They came free with my last order from Craft Label.

Greeting

The Grand Plans paper pack includes a sheet of little words and phrases. It could be used as a background paper but I like to cut them up and use them as greetings. By using the same paper pack for my greetings I know that the colours will be perfectly co-ordinated with the rest of my card.

Take a Peak Inside

I think it’s such a shame to receive a beautifully decorated card only to open it and be faced with a blank page. So I use more of my designer papers to decorate the insides of my cards. I mostly use scraps leftover from the main design and a 10cm square of plain paper to write a nice message onto.
