NONNI NISKANEN

Nonni's Handmade Cards

STAMPlorations products Nonni used:
Yuletide Deer, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies, Blossom Sprays #1, Make A Wish phrase die

Super quick Shimmery Deer CAS Card created with Yuletide Deer stamps and Crazy Double-Running Stitch Rectangle die. Coloring with Copics and Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.

Close Up of the Copic coloring before adding the WOS on top. The shading does not have to be flawless because you know you'll add the shimmer on top!

Close up of the deer after adding the shimmer! Always so tricky to photograph shimmer.

I created two cards using the Blossom Sprays #1 stamp, Make a Wish phrase die and Crazy Double-Running Stitch Rectangle die. I used exactly same Copics on both cards but colored the second version on kraft. In the detail photos you can see the comparison photos in the beginning of the process, I think it's just the greens and yellows that look the most different. Love how different the Copic shades look when you change the card you color on!
