Smiles for You Slimline Card

 Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing a card a made for Your Next Stamp's Challenge #161 - Sunshine and Smiles.  These critters are just so cute and I couldn't wait to use them on this card!

I started this card by cutting a piece of white glitter cardstock to 8.5" by 3.5" for my cardbase.  I used YNS Slim Circle Panel die to cut a piece of plain white cardstock and glued it to my glitter base.  

Next, I stamped out these super adorable images from YNS Smiley Happy Critter Crew One stamp set, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them out with their coordinating dies.  I had so much fun coloring these critters!  They are so happy and fun, and I can't help but smile when I look at them!  

I used the largest die in YNS Stitched Fishtail Banner die set to cut a piece of red cardstock on which I white heat embossed the sentiment.  I then adhered the sentiment banner and all of the images to my card with foam squares for dimension!

Copic colors used for Frog:

• YG01, YG23, YG25
• Belly - Y0000, Y00, Y21
• Spots - BG72, BG18

I did used T8 to go over the inside of the mouths of the frog and ladybug, and the ladybug's spots.

For finishing touches on this card I added glitter to the butterflies and crown, and glossy accents to the frog and ladybug's tongues!  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!
