Deck of Cards - Set 5

Hi there,

over the next few weeks I would like to show you a project that I created for Mennys Bastelshop together with my so very talented daughter Emily. It was a gift for my son - a deck of cards. I used the Mama Elephant Artist Trading Card die set on each of them combined with different stamp sets from Mama Elephant, My Favorite Things and Lawn Fawn. Every week I will show you four cards. Let's continue.


  • cut out the Mama Elephant Artist Trading Cards from smooth white cardstock
  • add color with Distress Oxide Inks
  • stamp images from the Mama Elephant Magical Wizards, the Lawn Fawn Your are Sublime, the Lawn Fawn Shello Friend and the Lawn Fawn Mermaid for you sets
  • color the images with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • assemble the cards

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Thinking of You Snowdrop

Hi there,

I created this Mixed-Media Card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

  • stamp the Karten-Kunst Schneeglöckchen onto a piece of smooth white cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
  • color the image with Ohuhu Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
  • cut the right side of the panel with one of the Karten-Kunst Torn Borders
  • ink up the edges with Distress Ink Tea Dye
  • add more interest to the background by using the Karten-Kunst Script Background, the Karten-Kunst Splatters Create and Distress Oxide Ink Tea Dye
  • add a strip of patterned paper to the right side of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase
  • stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Textrahmen-Worte 2 set with Versafine Clair Portobello

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
