Celebrate Jellyfish

Hi there,

on this card for Mennys Bastelshop I used the My Favorite Things Ocean-Sized Hugs stamp set:

• stamp an image from the My Favorite Things Ocean-Sized Hugs set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian and color it with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a waterbrush
• add highlights with a white gel pen and a Karin Decogel Star Sparks pen
• create a background using Distress Ink (Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot), foiled cardstock, vellum and colored cardstock
• run blue cardstock through your Big Shot in the Spellbinders Tiny Dots embossing folder
• add the sentiment using black cardstock, vellum and one of the CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Take Time for Yourself

Hi there,

I created this fun Summer Card for Anjas Basteltraum:

• stamp the sweet racoon from the Anjas Basteltraum Strandausflug set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
• color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• cut out a Paper Smooches Postage Stamp around the image
• add some postmarks with the help of the Waffle Flower Postage Collage stamp set and Distress Oxide Ink Pumice Stone - I used second generation stamping here
• create a background using the Penny Black Noted embossing folder 
• add color to the raised areas with that same grey ink
• stamp the sentiment from the Anjas Basteltraum Kleine Sprüche Meerzeit set with Versafine Clair Warm Breeze onto some vellum and heat-emboss it with clear embossing powder

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Sending Ocean-Sized Hugs

Hi there,

it's Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week's topic is "Kraft Cardstock". On my card I used lots of adorable images from My Favorite Things Ocean-Sized Hugs stamp set:

• stamp four images from the My Favorite Things Ocean-Sized Hugs set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
• color the images with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a waterbrush
• add highlights with a white gel pen and a Karin Decogel Star Sparks pen
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versamark onto a strip of kraft cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Colour Blend Verdigris embossing powder
• for the background I used the Taylored Expressions Bubbles embossing folder, the Time for Tea Designs Slimline Postage Stamp Frame die set, the Taylored Expressions Rolling Waves dies, blue cardstock and again kraft cardstock

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
