GUEST ARTIST FEATURE: Cynde Whitlow

Hey folks! It’s Cynde from The Pink Envelope I’m so excited to be back for another guest Design post for Wplus9! The last time I was here, I showed you all how to do some complex masking with several stamps sets. This time, I thought I would keep things really simple and use the Miss You Lots stamp set for both cards.

I also have a video to share with you! It’s full of details and information, so be sure to check it out!

I die cut out one panel with the rounded rectangle die from the Sunshine Layers Die set. I LOVE this die set. It’s a must have for your stash folks! I kept the other panel at a full 4.25”x5.5”. On each panel, I stamped the sweet girl from the Miss You Lots stamp set in Copic friendly ink. Then, I Copic colored both girls on each panel.

Using the Sunshine Layers Die again, I die cut some of the clouds from masking paper and added those to one of the panels before I started ink blending.

For the sky on one card, I used Bo Peep, Falling For Blue and Nautical Navy PURE COLOR Dye Ink. I used just the Bo Peep ink on the other card to give the idea that there is a sky behind my girl. You can see exactly how I did this in the video.

Mojito, Beanstalk and Appletini are what I used for grass on one card. I used a die from the Landscape Borders Die to create my mask this time. I also quickly Copic colored grass on my other card to "ground" my little girl so it didn’t look like she was just floating on the card.

I kept one card clean & simple. I added a sentiment from Miss You Lots and attached it to a 4.25”x5.5” top folding card base. To match the shape of the other card, I ran a top folding notecard through my die cutting machine with the scallop rectangle die from the Sunshine Layers Die. I simply moved the cut lines of the die so they extended past the fold of the card base so that the card base would stay in tact.

That’s it!

I hope you enjoyed my cards today! As always it’s such a great pleasure to design for Wplus9!

Until next time! ~Cynde
