Sunny Studio Stamps Mug Hugs | Colored Pencils and Distress Ink

Hello friends! I'm so excited to share that I'm guesting over on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog again today with four cards I created using stamps and dies from their Winter 2016 release. As I was creating my cards, I decided to create one extra one to share with you here today.

For this card, I used the Mug Hugs Stamp Set. Since I'm a bit of a coffee lover, this one has quickly become one of my favorites because of all the cute little cups and mugs.

I stamped each image using Versafine Pigment Ink in Onyx Black. I then colored each image using my new 150 set of Prismacolor Colored Pencils.  I was lucky to win a Amazon gift certificate recently and with that and an awesome sale, I was able to get the set. It's really quite fun to say that I have all of the colors!

To create the smooth look with the colored pencils, I used Gamsol, which is oderless mineral spirits and stump blending tools.

After, I finished coloring the images, I die cut them and then added a bit of Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter to the white area on the snowflakes, heart, candy cane and cookie. You can't really see it in the photos, but it add such a wonderful touch of shimmer and shine to them.

I created the background, by applying Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass to my cardstock using a ink blending tool. Next, I splattered a little bit of water onto the ink using a paint brush. I then dried this with a paper towel to remove a bit of the ink and create a fun, snowy background.

To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment and then adhered the die cuts to my card front using some double sided foam tape to give them a little dimension.
