Mermaid Queen Card for La-La Land Crafts

I wanted to create something for Mermay! I used some new products from the La-La Land Crafts New Release! I use the Good Vibes Only Clear Stamp for the sweet girl image. Instead of hair I wanted to create a Mermaid Crown!

The sentiment is from the I Can And I Will Clear Stamp Set and the Filler Words Cursive Clear Stamp Set and then die cut with the Large Stitched Tags Die Set.

Surrounding the Mermaid Queen I use the several dies to accent this card. The frame is made with etc Double Stitched Ovals Die Set and the Pierced Scallops Oval Die Set. The Heart Wreath die cuts surround this card with lots of love.

The cad base is stamped with the You Inspire Me Background Stamp Set. The Good Vibes Only Girl and accenting die cuts are colored with Copic Sketch Markers.
These are the Copic Sketch Markers I used on this project:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E30
Headpiece: G0000, G000, BG10, BG11, BG32, BG34
Frame/ Hearts/ Tag: R000, R00, R20, R22

I made a full tutorial video to assemble this card and with a little coloring tutorial for these hearts. Just click the link below to take a look.

Faux Wood La-La Land Die Cuts

For today’s Tutorial Thursday I wanted to share how I make my “Faux Wood La-La Land Die Cuts.” I like using them to accent my cards and stage my sentiments. You can use many of the awesome dies from La-La Land Crafts. Die cut any solid shape that you would like to use out of heavyweight cardstock. I use Copic Sketch Markers in earth tones COLORS, E30, E31, E33, E35, E37. 

After placing a pice of scratch paper underneath each die cut start with the Copic E31 and make swipes from the outside in and picking up your marker after swiping in. Do not go back and forth only one way to create the wood grain.

Flip the die cut and do the same swipes from the other end to connect wood grain. Do not cover all of the die cut and scatter the swipes leaving few spaces. 

Continue with Copic color E33 in more spaced out swipes. Flip the die cut again and add more swipes. With Copic E35 with even more spaced swipes than with Copic E33.

The next color E37 will be made with even less swipes than the last color. Since this is the darkest color you will make less swipes so it doesn’t overshadow the stamped sentiment.

The last color is E30. This being the lightest is just to fill in the spaces between the other colors and you don’t have to blend it in as you normally would with Copics.

I have colored other die cuts with these same colors. I hope this helps to add a little fun to your card projects. Check out these dies now in the La-La Land Crafts store.
