Paper Smooches Happy Camper

I have another fun card from the Paper Smooches Happy Camper stamp set to share with you today.  The cute bear image was the main selling point of the set for me, I like the other images but I LOVE the bear!

The bear is colored with Copic markers:

E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47

I used Happy Heart Creations "Happy Camper" digital papers too.

I've been asked by several people if printing digital papers uses a lot of ink.  My answer is yes and no, it depends on how you print it.  Most digital papers come in a 12 X 12 inch format.  I don't print the whole piece of paper.  I crop it to re size it and sometimes I make it smaller by dragging a corner inward.  I have a picture of one of the ways I size and print digital papers and I should say I always try to plan ahead so I can use my ink and paper wisely.

As you can see from the picture I printed four A2 sized panels of digital papers on one sheet of 70 lb text weight paper.  I used text weight because I was planning on making an envelope liner.  I would not recommend using regular copy paper for digital papers, the quality of the paper affects the quality of the prints.  Most of the time I use nice white card stock. You can also see the inspiration for my layout.  Sometimes I re size the sketches to my A2 card size so I can measure the panels and get a better idea of what size images to print, etc.  To conserve on printer ink I try to only print the black and white sketches when I need to.

The card stock colors I used to coordinate with the digital papers are Astrobrights Jupiter Java, Neenah Cyan and Mohawk Bright White.
