I thought I would try coloring my ark animals in a bolder scheme this time (not pastels, not realistic).
I ended up making 22 baby cards in 3 days. Oof! Note to self: think about purchasing a new baby stamp set!

So, I finally figured out how to execute the baby card I had in my head. This is something one of my cousins requested, it is an A6 card (a little bigger than my usual card).
I stamped the mirror image stegosaurus (the one on the right) first – because I kept screwing it up. Took about 6 tries to get it right (with a MISTI and a Paper Smooches Mirror block), and Jennifer’s McGuire’s very helpful Mirror Stamping video streaming while I was working. After that was done, I stamped the other stegosaurus and the baby, and masked them all. Next came the nest, rocks and trees, and they got masked as well. I blended ink for the grass and sky. After removing all my masks, I said a silent prayer that I WOULD NOT SCREW UP while coloring with my Copic markers!

For this card, I built a little scene of stegosaurus Mom and baby. Masked both of them, and added the oval nest. Masked the nest, and blended the sky and grass. After removing the masks, I decided to use dots of Copics to color (and more blending) the stegosauruses – a natural camo.
