Awesome

Hi there,

this is just a quick reminder of this month's Anything Goes Challenge over on the STAMPlorations Blog:

• stamp the STAMPlorations In Bloom: Heartfelt Hibiscus with Versafine Onyx Black and fuzzy cut the image
• create a background on a panel of smooth white cardstock by applying Distress Ink (Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers) through the ARTplorations Leaf Prints stencil
• add splatters with watered-down black acrylic paint
• cut out the CUTplorations awesome twice from white cardstock and once from black cardstock - ink up the bottom with Distress Ink Peacock Feathers
• add a strip of black cardstock and of patterned paper to the left side of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Deck of Cards - Set 4

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 Mama Elephant Rainy Days, the Lawn Fawn Toadally Awesome and the Lawn Fawn Here for you Bear 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

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,
