Vintage Tulips

Hi there,

I created this Vintage Tulip Card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

  • create your own stencil using the Karten-Kunst 1/8 Circles die set
  • apply Distress Ink (Walnut Stain, Tattered Rose, Fired Brick, Uncharted Mariner) through the stencil
  • stamp the Karten-Kunst Scribble Tulips with Versafine Clair Portobello
  • add some color using a PITT Pastel pencil
  • add some texture with the help of the Karten-Kunst Script Background and Distress Oxide Ink Walnut Stain
  • stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Aus der Schreibmaschine set with Versafine Clair Portobello

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Deck of Cards - Set 1

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 get started.


  • 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 Mama Elephant Bewitched and the Lawn Fawn Purrfectly Wicked 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

Hope to see you again next week. 

Hugs,
