Here is my project for today! I decided to create a terrarium out of Eileen Hull's Canister die using the Stampendous Terrarium Perfectly Clear Stamp Set. I stamped the die cut canister in Rich Cocoa ink and then used my Copic E31 Wide marker all over it with detail color in E99 and E43. I cut all four sides and added acetate windows adhering them with redline tape. The inside was an afterthought so I spent time stamping coloring and then marking the box cut outs onto the paper with my light table. Sigh. LOL. The terrarium is lined with pebbles and young blades of grass, stamped on kraft cardstock and color...

This card was designed using Butterfly Duo Stencil Set a fab new product by Stampendous and there will be lots of inspiration this week using these fabby sets. FMSD102 Butterfly Duo Stencil Set My prep was getting out my instant coffee granules and making some "paint" with it and put it in a spray bottle as well as palette tray for later.
