Perfect Combos – Loads of love

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to another edition of my Perfect Combos series for Heffy Doodle. As it is Valentine’s Day today, I created a fun little farm scene for you mixing ad matching several stamp sets and stencils. Let me guide you through the process.

First I stamped and coloured the images from Farmyard Fun and Udderly Fabulous. I used Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers: GY5, GY3, GY, GY1, DR5, DR2, DR1, DR05, BG7, BG5, BG4, BG2, BG1, FS7, FS6, VB3,VB2, VB1, VB05, EB5, EB2, EB1. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

Then I used the Green Fields stencil on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide inks. I used a lighter hand towards the bottom to help the ink fade out. I wanted the sky to be a bit more whimsical than plane clouds so I used the Scribble on my heart stencil with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink, fading it out towards the edge of the grass. I didn’t do any kind of masking just did not allow the inks to meet. So easy, yet special!

The sentiments are from both stamp sets, white heat embossed on strips of black cardstock. I popped up the images on the background with 3D foam squares, just as the sentiments. The scene building elements I adhered with liquid glue.

As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen on the eyes of the cow, added white gel pen highlights randomly and used glossy accents on the wheels.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Perfect Combo and will check back later for more inspiration. If you like my cards, please make sure to follow me on Instagram where I also share my happy creations! Thank you!

See you soon,
