Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #58

Good Morning dear friends!!!  I'm so glad it's Wednesday!!  I am still trying to get back into the swing of things after our vacation in Washington last week!  I did spend the evening making a card for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday Challenge.  It felt so good to craft for fun and get my creative juices flowing once again!!!

Here's the challenge:

Make It Monday #58- Graduated Backgrounds

and here's my take on the challenge:

I used PTI's Whale Wishes Stamp set along with their Movers and Shakers: Sliders dies. I used Copic Markers for this technique as posted in this video:

 After I colored a square piece of paper with Copic markers, I cut three strips and punched each of them with a scallop punch.  After I scalloped the edges, I glued them to a piece of computer paper and die cut the entire piece with the tag portion of the Movers and Shakers die.  That way, I had a perfect match to the original interactive portion of the card.

I stamped the inside of the interactive tag using PTI Movers and Shakers Sentiments Stamp sets.  The Whale Wishes stamps were a little larger than the space inside the card, so I used my computer to print the sentiment onto the patterned paper.

I inked the Whale with Enchanted Evening Ink and then I pressed the inked stamp onto a dry Gingham Background Basics stamp.  Then, I stamped the image onto a die cut whale resulting in the subtle gingham pattern on the image.  Way fun!!
