I absolutely fell in love with the MFT Stamps Birdie Brown medical digital stamp freebies<\/a><\/span> offered this month. Unlike a lot of freebies, they\u00a0 were really illustrated with a lot of details and they were perfect for all of the cards I hope to make for our medical heroes during this Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Because I wanted to emphasize the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) that our EVERYDAY ESSENTIAL WORKER HEROES are sorely in need of, I downloaded the digis and then convertd them to jpg. Then I could edit them a bit using paint.net, to erase the noses and mouths, so that I could doodle on face masks and gloves using a 0.05 pt black Copic Multiliner Pen<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I colored the female doctor with my go-to coloring medium, Copics, and then I had some fun trying to add more vibrancy and detail with some Prismacolor Premium Colored Pencils<\/a><\/span>:
\nClip Board and Stethoscope<\/span>: C00, C0 and C3 (for metal parts) and E23, E57 and E44 (for boards)
\nSkin<\/span>: E50, E51, E01, R20 (blush) with Prismacolor Beige (997); Light Peach (927); Shell Pink (1093); Ruby Beige (1019)l and Clay Rose (1017)
\nShoes<\/span>: N5 and N7 with C3 for soles
\nBrown Hair<\/span>: E55, E57 and E59 with Prismacolor Jasmine (1012) and Sepia (948)
\nBlue Scrubs and Gloves<\/span>: B0000, B01, B02, and B04 with Prismacolor Sky Blue Light (1086) and Non-Photo Blue (919)
\nI then fussy cut them out with my favorite Fiskars Reverse Spring Loaded Scissors<\/a><\/span> and inked the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black Marker<\/a><\/span> for a clean, crisp finished look. To add some extra interest onto the doctor, I also popped her up on double sided foam adhesive to give her some dimension.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For the background, I decided to use a bunch of the sentiment stamps from Newton’s Nook Designs “Thankful Thoughts”<\/a><\/span>. I positioned the words at a diagonal and inked up each row with rainbow bright springy colors of Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Festive Berries<\/a><\/span>, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed<\/a><\/span>, Twisted Citron<\/a><\/span>, Broken China<\/a><\/span> and Wilted Violet<\/a><\/span>. Where my MISTI<\/a><\/span> slipped while stamping the Spiced Marmalade<\/a><\/span> row, I used the matching Spiced Marmalade Distress Marker to tidy it up! As this extra layer of ink darkened that row, I decided to mount it on a similarly colored card stock card base to make it look more intentional. I also used the Mustard Seed and Broken China Markers to balance out the color saturation a bit throughout the background.<\/p>\n
