Stay Strong...Graciellie Designs....

Hello there inky friends, I'm joining my fellow Coffee Loving Cardmakers Designers for a fun feature celebration of the newest Graciellie Design digi set called Stay Strong.  This set is available in Gracie's Etsy shop and it includes a great new frappe image as well as a beautiful flower bloom and seven fun and inspirational sentiments.  Click on the image below to purchase your own copy of this awesome digi set!  

A modified version of this set is also available at Unity Stamp Company.  If you prefer red rubber stamps instead of digi stamps, this might be the option for you!  It contains the man flower, the heart and the frappuccino cup as well as a selection of five sentiments.  You can check it out HERE.  

I created a few cards featuring elements in this set.  The first card features the frappe cup, a little acrylic paint (brushed onto and lifted off of my Gelli Plate), some gold leaf and a little pop-a-licious inking on the sleeve.  A little gloss on the heart seals the leaf and gives added shine.  

I used the following Copics to add color to the cup.  Copics:  E50, E57, YR31, Y32, V000, V95, RV95, R000, R32

My second card features the cute flower and a sentiment that inspires.  I chose to keep the background a bit plain for this card so that the sentiment and flower are the focus.  I love that I can enlarge and shrink the images/sentiments in digi sets so I shrunk the flower down a bit so it would become a button-like element.

To color the flower, I used the following Copics:  BV00, BV02, V15, C3, YG25, YG61, YR65.  After coloring, I applied gloss and some micro glitter to give it some shine.  Of course, I had to add a sweet little ribbon bow too!

Thanks for popping over to see my creations.  Thanks Graciellie Designs for always providing exceptional designs to work with.  I really enjoy playing with them!
