Underwater Hello

Hi there,

it's time for the Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week our topic is "Underwater/Unterwasser". I used the Gerda Steiner Designs Deeply stamp set on my project:

  • stamp the submarine and the bear from the Gerda Steiner Designs Deeply set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
  • color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
  • create a background on blue colored cardstock with the help of the Create a Smile Ocean Wave stamp, Distress Oxide Ink Chipped Sapphire, the Create a Smile Focal Point stencil and white pigment ink
  • add some fish and jellyfish from the Gerda Steiner Designs Deeply set with Distress Oxide Ink Chipped Sapphire
  • cut out the Hello from the CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments from dark blue cardstock and vellum

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Bloom with Happiness

Hi there,

I created this sweet card using the adorable little bunny from the Anjas Basteltraum Gartenzeit stamp set:

  • stamp the bunny from the Anjas Basteltraum Gartenzeit set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
  • color the image with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • stamp the fence from the same set into the background and color it as well
  • mask the fence and create a background with the help of the My Favorite Things Cloud and Grassy Edges stencils and Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Bundled Sage)
  • cut out the sentiment from grass cardstock using one of the the Spellbinders Fresh Picked Sentiments dies 
  • add color to the bottom of the sentiment with Distress Ink Gathered Twigs
  • stamp the second part of the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Garden Before 'n Afters set with Versamark onto a strip of kraft cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
  • add strips of patterned paper to the left and right side of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase
I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
