February PTC: (Fur) Baby

The prompt for the February PTC swap over on Clarity Mini Makes and ATCs is Baby. I have very few Groovi plates with a baby theme so decided to base my PTC around the word baby but use animal images instead.

I trimmed a piece of Rainbow River designer parchment to 4” x 3”.

Next, I used the nested rectangle picot Groovi plate to add a double frame for the outer edge of the PTC with the 1mm Pergamano ball tool.

Baby was added into the middle of the PTC using Groovi Word Chain border plate #8.

I added the cats, bunnies, deer and bird from the Stag Outline, Grove Trees Outline and Bird Outline Baby Plates.

I then added a further cat and bird for balance to finish the line art.

The bunnies’ tails were highlighted using a 3mm Pergamano ball tool – 2 layers with a 20 minute rest in between. I also erased the colour from two of the cats by using the white ended Faber-Castell eraser pencil on the back of the parchment and then coloured them black on the front using a Perga Colour pen.

The remaining animals and birds were coloured in the same manner in shades of grey and brown.

I cut across the corners, folded the edges and added to an ATC blank with double sided tape.

It was a quick job to add the ATC stamp to a second ATC blank and complete the details in Jet Black Archival ink and a micron pen. This was then added to the back of the PTC.

To finish, I added Perga Glitter (hint of gold) to the lettering using sticky ink and a mapping pen.
