Artful Angel June Release and IG Hop - Savannah - Hang In There

 Oh my gosh!  It is release day over at Artful Angel and the Design Team has been hard at work to bring you TONS of inspiration!  I created this bright cheerful card featuring our favorite Savannah Sloth, drawn by the amazing Dustin Pike!  

I absolutely love this image of Savannah swinging from a vine and reaching for the bee.  I felt like she needed to be in the tropics, so this was the result.  I colored the Savannah image from the Hang In There stamp set using Copic markers (colors listed below), cut her out and set her aside. 

I found these bright tropical digital papers from Jo Kavanaugh on Etsy and knew they were PERFECT for this card.  I layered them on my card base and covered the seam with some bright pink ribbon that I had in my stash. 

I die-cut and layered some white rectangles using some dies from C.C. Designs, placed Savannah and the bee on top, and adhered them to the front of the card.   I stamped my sentiment and created a two layer banner using a banner punch from Stampin' Up, and then attached to the front of the card using foam dots.  I finished my card with a few embellishments from Kindred Stamps. 

Colors Used: 

Savannah - W9, W7, W5, W3, W1, R83, R81
Claws - E13, Y25

Vine - G07, YG25, YG11, YG00

Bow - RV09, RV06, RV04, RV02

Bee - Y17, Y15, Y11, B0000

Artful Angel June Release - Savannah - Hang In There

 Hello friends!  I am so excited to share my project for the Artful Angel June Release!  I created this fun card using the June sketch challenge and the Hang In There stamp set, starring our favorite sloth, Savannah.  I turned the sketch on its' side to create a horizontal card.

I colored the sweet Savannah ballerina from the soon to be released Hang In There stamp set using Copic markers (colors listed below), cut her out and set her aside. 

I printed a digital paper that I had in my stash, paired it with Balmy Blue card stock from Stampin'  Up, and started creating lots of layers.  I pulled out my favorite dies - yeah, you know the ones - and die-cut my circles, and I die-cut my sentiment banner using the Sentiment Strip dies from Kindred Stamps. 

Colors Used: 

Savannah - W9, W7, W5, W3, W1, R83, R81

Claws - E13, Y26

Tutu/Bow - B02, B01, B00, B000, B0000

Balloon/Wings - RV09, RV06, RV04, RV02, RV00, RV0000
