I used the Steampunk Watch 6×6 stencil to create some cloud shapes to fit my Steampunk scene using a light blue and light gray ink and ink blending brushes. I used a grass stencil from my stash to add some grass towards the bottom of my card front. I downloaded and printed the fairy house and colored it up with Copic markers. I then fussy-cut it out.
Copic Colors used to color all images are below:
Hair, Tree Trunk, Pathway, Door- E88, E59, E34, E57
Skin- E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

I created this card by pairing an image from June’s Cute Girls’ release – Crafting with a base I made using several scraps from cards I had made during the week.

White Cardstock/Hammermill for Copic Coloring -3×5 in
Take 5.25 x 4 in white piece of card stock and ink blend over Steampunk Stencil (coordinating with this release)
Use Prismacolor pencils and gamsol, as well as white gel pen, for added detail and depth.
After stamping image onto the 3×5 piece of Hammermill or other alcohol friendly paper, with Momento Black ink and heat-set, I colored with Copic markers.
Featuring Products from Stamp Anniething & Artesprix
I am sharing a card and bookmark combo featuring The Poppy stamp set from Annie’s Garden at Stamp Anniething and sublimation inks and bookmark blanks from Artesprix.
Ink looks dull BEFORE sublimation is complete.
I traced the outline of the bookmark “blank” with a regular pencil onto plain copy paper and then stamped image using Black Artesprix ink and then colored in using Artesprix Colored Markers especially formulated for sublimation.
What is sublimation, you ask?
Sublimation DefinitionWhen heat is applied to your colored image, the pigments turn to gas and transfer to your sublimation blank.Place blank onto the colored image with coated side (if not coated on both sides) kissing colored image. Secure with heat tape (don’t skimp on this step)
I then cut 2 pieces of special protective paper / parchment and created a “sandwich” with the colored image taped to blank facing up and a second piece of parchment on the bottom. This helps contain any ink that escapes during the process. Having the paper face up allows the heat to hit the back of the image and transfer to the blank underneath.
I used a mat from Artesprix to protect my surface and pressed my heat press firmly on top of the “sandwich.” I purchased a no name brand from Amazon for under $80 and have been very pleased. I pre-heated my press to 390 degrees and pressed for 90 seconds. I decided to continue to press another 90 seconds and after a significant cool-down period, the results were stunning!
I used the same image and stamped on Hammermill 110 lb cardstock. I colored up with my Copic Markers. I stamped the image on Gina K masking paper and fussy cut. I placed the mask on top if my image to protect it. I ink blended using a palm ink blender, Annie’s blue inks over the sun ray stencil from Stamp Anniething.
Orange Mat- 5 1/2 in x 4 1/4 in
Yellow Mat – 5 1/4 in x 4 in
White (stamp image on this piece) 4 3/4 in x 3 1/2 in – pop up and center on yellow with foam tape
I love how a simple bookmark elevated my card into a gift!
Annie likes to keep us guessing!! Tease Alert!And just like that, you all are now WOKE!!! Enjoy!

I cut close to the line to ensure as little white around image, but very easy to fill bin with Stamp Anniething mini ink blending brushes! Used Beach Builder Stencil to create underwater scene and drew bubbles with Prismacolir pencils, used Gamsol to smooth with blending stump and used white gel pen for highlights.
