Good morning! I’m so excited to be hopping along to celebrate the newest Anita Jeram release from Colorado Craft Company! There are four adorable new sets with coordinating dies and I’m sharing a card using Getting Ready!
I just loved the image of that cute bunny and his robin friends getting ready for Christmas! To start I stamped the image with copic friendly black ink and then stamped him a second time on masking paper. I fussy cut the mask and placed it over my stamped image. I also extended the snowbank for a landscape card with a copic multi-liner and masked it off as well. Then I blended a background using spun sugar, shaded lilac, and blueprint sketch distress oxide ink. When I’m masking something this large I prefer to mask and blend before copic coloring just in case something goes wrong or I accidentally tear the image with the masking paper. That way I only have to repeat the ink-blending not an hour’s (or more) worth of copic coloring! After I finished blending I splattered the panel with water and blotted off the excess.
Then I carefully removed the mask and colored the image with copic markers. I just love coloring these images and spent a relaxing hour watching the newest episode of the Great British Bake Off and coloring! I used the following colors:
- Bunny: W00, W1, W3, W5, R0000, R00, R02
- Robin: R30, R32, R35, E70, E71, E74
- Stocking and Bow: R30, R32, R35, R37, R39, R89
- Snow: B0000, B00, B02
- Tree: E23, E25, E27, G20, G21, G24
Once I was done coloring I stamped the sentiment with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder to finish the card!

Hi, Jessica – Love your ink blending, as always. Thanks for the tips about masking and when to do that in the process of card creation. You and I think alike — my favorite of the stamp sets this time from CCC and AJ is the “Getting Ready” set. I just love the image and it’s easy to color. I also like the Hiding Presents b/c I do that… and forget where they are or what’s in the wrapped boxes. I love the mini and would love to win it! Have a great Thanksgiving!
