I've used the newest Park Play stamp set, how adorable are those critters? The illustration is amazing, I love the simple lines which makes the critters even cuter.
I wanted to do some no line coloring and I also want to use soft colors, because they reminded me of a childhood book. I fistly stamped the images on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, using Gina K Warm Glow Amalgam Ink.
I firstly colored the critters using copics (you can find the combos listed below): I did a bit of shading but as always, I knew I would have defined the edges and created more contrast later, using Polychromos pencils. I can tell you the difference is really great: the pencils really help to let the image pop up. I then die cut everything using coordinating dies and I moved to the background panel.

Since I wanted to try the newest Gallery Frame #7 die, with 4 little scenes, I firstly took a 5,25"x5,25" piece of Neenah and created the 4 mini square backgrounds, using masking tape to mask the top blending from the bottom one. I've used blending brushes with Distress Oxides in Salvaged Patina and Twisted Citron, with a really light hand.
I then die cut the Gallery Frame #7 die from some white cardstock and used the inside frame to set up the little scenes. I also added a Lime stitched frame around to create a little bit of contrast. I attached all the small images, using a combination of liquid glue and foam tape, to create some interest. I also decided to heat embossed the sentiment on a round piece of yellow cardstock and attached it at the centre of the panel.
