For you little Songbird

Hi there,

I created this sweet card using the new adorable Karten-Kunst Tierische Blumengrüße stamp set:

• stamp one of the critters from the Karten-Kunst Tierische Blumengrüße set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
• color the image with Ohuhu Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils 
• cut out the Memory Box Woodland Branch and the Karten-Kunst Confetti flowers from colored cardstock
• add dots of Liquid Pearls Cantaloupe to the flower centers
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versafine Clair Pinecone on a sentiment strip

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

A Mole lot of Love - Part 2

Hi there,

a few months back I saw a beautiful card by Rachel Alvarado using the Lawn Fawn A Mole Lot of Love and the A Mole Lot of Love Add-Ons stamp sets. Last week I showed you my recreation of this card and this week you get to see my own take on it:

• stamp images from the Lawn Fawn A Mole Lot of Love, the Lawn Fawn A Mole Lot of Love Add-Ons, the Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens and the Lawn Fawn Fairy Garden sets with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
• color the images with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• cut out the sentiment from the Penny Black Doodles die set from colored cardstock
• cut out four rectangles
• create a background with Distress Ink Speckled Egg and add some splatters as well
• for more texture in the background use one of the dies from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders set
• add some clay hearts as final embellishments

I hope to see you again next week. 

Hugs,

Hi there,

it's Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week our topic is "Embossing Folder". I used the Purple Onion Designs Allie Kitty on Rock stamp set on my project:

• stamp the adorable Purple Onion Designs Allie Kitty on Rock with My Favorite Things Extreme Black onto a rounded rectangle from the Stitched Rounded Rectangle STAX die set
• color the image and the background with Ohuhu Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
• create a background with an embossing folder
• stamp the sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Stamps Deep Blue Corners set with Versamark onto a strip of torn vellum and heat-emboss it with Distress Embossing Glaze Salvaged Patina

I hope you got inspired to give some love to your embossing folders.

Hugs,

Happy Birthday Bunny
