This Tatty Teddy digital stamp is super easy to colour with ProMarkers. I’ve paired him with First Edition Love Story papers for a quick and easy new baby girl card.
Keep on reading and I’ll show you how to make your own handmade cards. I’m including ProMarker blends and all the craft stash and crafting techniques I’ve used.
Digital Stamping
The Digi image is from DoCrafts Digital Designer Especially For You CD.
There are thousands of different digital stamps availible online. Click here to take a look at my favourites.
I print my digital stamps onto Ultimate Graphic 160gsm paper. It’s bright white so my colours really pop and it’s super smooth surface makes blending easier.
You don’t need a fancy or expensive printer to print digital stamps. I use a very old HP Officejet, any inkjet printer will do.
I’ve coloured this little cutie with my Winsor & Newton BrushMarkers.
Here’s the shade’s I’ve used:
Promarker Brush Colours
Designer Papers
These Love Story papers from First Edition were the perfect shade of vintage pink to suit this new baby girl card. They are fantastic quality papers, really thick and with lots of little details like textures and embossing.
Die Cutting
I use dies to make frames around my digital stamps. I always colour my image first in case I make a mess of it.
Then I choose a die shape and size that suits my image and run it through my die cutting machine.
On this card I have used a plain circle die from XCut.
I like to use distress inks to add a bit of colour around my images. I use a Blending Tool to sweep the ink onto the edges of my die cut shape. For this card I’ve used Tattered Rose.
Embellishments
I’ve added this little length of lace behind the Tatty Teddy image. It’s layered onto a scrap of pink ribbon, both from my craft stash.
Because this is quite a simple card I wanted to add a little something to the top corner. I love these little adhesive pearls for adding a little bit of interest and texture to the corner of my handmade cards and crafts.
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.
