Dies to Die For: Dudley's Mailed With Love

Happy Fri-Yay! everyone!

I had such fun making today's card - I have n't done much colouring recently. My concentration has n't been brilliant since I broke my leg but I really enjoyed colouring Dudley so I think I'm finally getting back to some sort of normality!

I used the fabulous

Dudley's Mailed With Love Clear Stamp Set by Dustin Pike

(again because Dudley is irresistible)!)!

from Whimsy Stamps

to make this card.

First I die cut a piece of card suitable for alcohol markers with a

Notched Square Die

Then I stamped and masked the images working from the front backwards (so - I stamped Dudley first and then masked his nose and the envelope so I could stamp the mail box closer to him!

I used Copic Markers

Dudley - BG75, BG72, BG23, BG11, BG10, YG13, YG01, C3, C1, C00

Mail Box - BG99, BG97, BG95 W8, W4, W1, R37, R35, R05

Envelopes - R37, R05, E41, E40

Grass - G46, G14, YG17, YG13, YG01

I used a Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Tumbled Glass to blend the background around Dudley. (I did nt mask him, I just 'eyeballed' it! - I have done this a lot and am used to it but you might feel safer masking the image before adding distress inks).

I stamped the sentiment in grey ink and die cut it with a die from the

Comic Speech Bubbles Die Set.

I then die cut a piece of paper from the

6x6 Heart To Heart Paper Pack

with the largest

Notched Square Die

and layered the design onto it using

Foam Tape.

Finally I added some enamel dots.
