Deck of Cards - Set 1

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 get started.

• 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 Bewitched and the Lawn Fawn Purrfectly Wicked 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

Hope to see you again next week. 

Hugs,

Circle Birthday

Hi there,

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

• cut out some Karten-Kunst 1/8 Inch Circles from colored cardstock
• stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Schriftzug-Set Zum Geburtstag with Versamark onto a blue cardbase and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• add splatters with watered-down white gouache

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Hey Llama!

Hi there,

I created this card for Mennys Bastelshop using the Heffy Doodle Llamazing Llama stamp set and I got inspired by this Heffy Doodle YouTube Video:

• stamp several images from the Heffy Doodle Llamazing Llamas set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
• color the images with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• create a background using the Paper Smooches Border 3 die set and colored cardstock
• add the sentiment cut from colored cardstock with the help of the Time for Tea Designs Hey Hello Hi Sentiment die set

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Love Tag

Hi there,

I created this cute tag/bookmark for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out the heart from the Karten-Kunst Symbolisch gemeint Ostern from kraft cardstock and patterned paper 
• stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Aus der Schreibmaschine set with Versamark onto a strip of kraft cardstock and heat-emboss it with Distress Embossing Glaze Villainous Potion
• thread purple twine through the holes of the tags

Have a wonderful day.
