Apple Trilogy - Week 1

Hi there,

my daughter Emily and I created a little apple trilogy using the Lawn Fawn Apple-Solutely Awesome stamp set for Mennys Bastelshop. We would like to show you the finished projects over the next three weeks. This is our first card:

• stamp several images from the Lawn Fawn Apple-Solutely Awesome and the Lawn Fawn Veggie Happy sets with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
• color the images with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• create a background on watercolor paper using the MFT Grassy Edges stencil, the MFT Cloud stencil and Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Bundled Sage)
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versafine Onyx Black

Hope to see you again next week.

Hugs,

Fall is here

Hi there,

I created this fall card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out four squares from smooth white cardstock using one of the dies from the Karten-Kunst Square Card Designer set
• create a background with the help of an embossing folder, kraft cardstock and Distress Ink Walnut Stain
• stamp some greenery from the Karten-Kunst Circulus Blätterkranz set with Brilliance Pearlescent Crimson, Pearlescent Chocolate and Pearlescent Ivy
• add some details with Delicata Golden Glitz
• ink up the edges of the squares with Distress Ink Tea Dye
• cut out "Herbst"/"Fall" using the Karten-Kunst Lucky Alphabet and ink up the edges with Distress Ink Gathered Twigs
• add some details to the letters with a golden gel pen

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Have a Cozy Day
