Card Art with Copics: Ladybug Crafts Ink Grow Old With Me Wrinkley

Ladybug Crafts Ink carries a fabulous line of clear stamp images designed by Julia Fryer called The Wrinkleys. Many of us can relate to this elderly couple and the sentiments included with Mr. and Mrs. Wrinkley will surely make you smile as you're reminded of some of your favorite people.  I've used Grow Old With Me Wrinkley to share loving thoughts on this Valentine's Day twisted easel card for a very special someone.  You can get your own Grow Old With Me Wrinkley clear stamp set, complete with three sentiments, here.

I wanted to begin the sentiment near my image and continue it on the base. I considered snipping apart my clear stamp sentiment then decided against it. Instead, I placed scotch tape over the words I wanted to hide, inked my stamped, removed the tape and voila! Only the words that I wanted to show appeared exactly where I wanted them! Yay!!! My Copic Multiliner 0.03 came to the rescue to darken spots where the ink was slightly faded.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image . . .

I've die cut my image using an older Sizzix Bigz Clear Die Heart then offset a pink and red die cut. I adhered Wyla polyester pleated lace to the back for a soft and delicate touch.

Bo Bunny's 2010 Crazy Love double-sided patterned paper, layered with brown, red and pink cardstock forms my twisted easel card.  A glitter brad from a Bo Bunny's Crazy Love brads set sparkles in one corner.  A 5/8" Satin Sensation Chocolate bow adorns the other corner.

A Lifestyle Crafts pocket tag from a Tag It Kit holds the second part of the clear stamp sentiment quote.  A heart from a Sizzix Eyelet Washers #1 die holds bits of Offray 1/8" pink and brown ribbon.  Part of a Be Mine! stamp from an old Stampin' Up! set of Have a Heart stamps peeks out from a tag insert.  A Happy Valentine's Day! sentiment from JustRite's Cling Elizabeth O. Dulemba's Just Ducky set marks the bottom border of my card base.  My flower/berry cluster consists of:  Fancy Pants Designs 2007 Handmade Posies Harvest crocheted flower topped with a Recollections mulberry red rose; Petaloo Dazzlers glitter flowers; Stampin' Up!'s felt Flower Fusion Too; JoAnn Store's berries; Punch Bunch mini sun and small dusty miller leaf; and large oak leaves.

Here's a view of my twisted easel card, open and ready for display, showing how I've used Ladybug Crafts Ink Grow Old With Me Wrinkley to share loving thoughts . . .
