HEY FRIENDS! Still coloring through my stash of stamp sets that I purchased in the past year. Obviously, I bought a lot of Anita Jeram images because I’m back today with another – Big Love.

Today is a special day in my family. It’s my father’s 94th birthday! I needed a card to celebrate the occasion so I got to work coloring. As always, I’ve linked the supplies below with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Today’s project features:

• Anita Jeram Big Love by Colorado Craft Company
• Anita Jeram Birthday Wishes by Colorado Craft Company
• Slim Diagonal Rectangles Die Set by Pinkfresh Studio
• Copic coloring (see list and video below)
• Ink blending (see end of video to view how I did the ink blending)
• Additional supplies linked in thumbnails below.

Step by Step for Big Love

• Score a letter size sheet of Neenah Solar White #110 cardstock at 4.25″ length-wise. Fold sheet in half at the score line. Trim folded card to 3.75″ x 8.75″ to form the card base. This card will fit in a standard #10 envelope (4 ⅛” x 9 ½”).
• Cut a piece of pattern paper to 3.75″ x 8.75″ for the accent. I used one of the brown patterns from the Sizzix – Surfacez Collection – 8.25 x 11.75 Printed Paper Pad.
• Cut a piece of white cardstock from the largest plain die in the Slim Diagonal Rectangle Die Set.
• Cut a piece of Copic compatible paper using the smallest diagonal die in the Slim Diagonal Rectangle Die Set. Stamp image from Big Love stamp set using a Copic compatible ink. I used Hero Arts Intense Black.
• Color image with Copic markers (see list and video below).
• Ink blend the grass with Lime Rickey and the sky with It’s A Boy, both by Catherine Pooler Designs. I used a domed foam blending tool for the ink blending. See end of video below to view how I did the ink blending.
• Stamp sentiments from the Anita Jeram Birthday Wishes stamp set as shown using Versamark Ink in Onyx Black.
• Assemble layers as shown.
