Life is better with friends by Sylvie @Kaliscards

Today I have this sweet slimline card about friendship. For the images, I paired two Crafty Meraki stamp sets released last month: It's playtime and Paws-itively yours and then added more images from previously released sets

I used the masking technique to stamp all the images, from the It's playtime (kids and small teddy bear), Paws-itively yours (sleeping cat), Valentine (clouds) and Oh baby (large teddy bear), starting by the front image, masking it and stamping the image appearing just behind and so on. In the end, all images are masked, including the last stamped ones.

I then blended Distress oxide Spun sugar, Kitsch flamingo, Picked rapsberry and Festive berries from bottom to top, using the My Favorite Things Cloud edge stencil

I then unmasked all images and colored them with Copic markers. I also added some highlights on the cheeks and in the eyes with my white gel pen

I stamped the sentiment, from the Amazing blooms stamp set with versamark and heat set it with white embossing powder

I then stamped the small hearts from the Owl yours stamp set with red ink and glued some Sparkle divine illusion bling here and there

If you are not a great fan of masking, you could totally make the same design with cut out images by using the coordinating dies for the Valentine, Oh baby, It's playtime and Paws-itively yours sets.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
