Affirmation Cards 2

Hi there,

here is another pair of Affirmation Cards that I created for Mennys Bastelshop. 




  • cut out two squares from smooth white cardstock using one of the dies from the Karten-Kunst Card Designer A6; cut out two additional squares from patterned paper to cover the backsides
  • stamp images from the Impronte d'Autore Home Sweet Snail and the Lawn Fawn Highland Cows 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
  • ink up the edges with matching Distress Ink 
  • add the sentiments to the backsides

Since the October is already filled with other posts, we will continue this series in November after the Inspiration Week.

Hugs,

A Note of Thanks

Hi there,

I created this sweet card for the Karten-Kunst Blog using the Karten-Kunst Polaroid die set and my absolute favorite the Karten-Kunst Tierische Blumengrüße stamp set:

  • stamp the adorable little bear from the Karten-Kunst Tierische Blumengrüße set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black 
  • color the image with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Prismacolor colored pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • cut out a square from grass cardstock using the Karten-Kunst Card Designer A6 and two washi strips from patterned paper using dies from the Karten-Kunst Polaroid set
  • stamp the sentiment from the Aus der Schreibmaschine set with Versafine Clair Portobello onto a strip of kraft cardstock
  • ink up the edges with Distress Ink Ground Espresso and Worn Lipstick

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Hi there,

it's Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week our topic is "Tea/Coffee". I used the Lawn Fawn Cozy Cats stamp set on my project:

  • cut out two Tattered Lace Torn Rectangles - one from colored and one from smooth white cardstock
  • stamp one of the cats from the Lawn Fawn Cozy Cats set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
  • create a background using Versafine Clair Arctic and the Lawn Fawn Long Distance Hugs stamp set - use the Masking Technique
  • color the image with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hugs,
