Winter Dreams

Hi there,

I created this Winter Card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

  • create some irregular watercolor shapes with Schmincke Horadam watercolors 
  • stamp the trees from the Karten-Kunst Abstrakte Tannen set and the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Capri Weihnachtspost set with Versafine Onyx Black
  • ink up the edges of the watercolor panel with Distress Ink Seedless Preserves
  • add some silver splatters
  • cut out some stars with the help of the Karten-Kunst Stars in a Row set from silver glitter paper and add them as final embellishments

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Adventure Awaits!

Hi there,

I created this fun masculine card for our Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop using the Lawn Fawn Car Critters and the Lawn Fawn Car Critters Road Trip Add-On stamp sets:

  • stamp images and a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Car Critters and the Lawn Fawn Car Critters Road Trip Add-On sets with Gina K. Designs Obsidian - use the Masking Technique
  • color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • mask everything off again and add some color to the background using Distress Ink Cracked Pistachio
  • add strips of colored cardstock and of patterned paper to the left and right side of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
