• add shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos and highlights with a white gel pen
• add dimension to the lights with Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew
• create a background on a panel cut from watercolor paper with Altenew watercolors
• add splatters with darker shades of the used colors
• stamp the second part of the sentiment using the Create a Smile Lettering Alphas CAPS and Lettering Alphas sets and Versafine Clair Morning Mist
• the first part of the sentiment is from the Anjas Basteltraum Glückwünsche set and white heat-embossed onto a grey sentiment strip
• adhere the watercolor panel to a violet cardbase

Thanks for stopping by.

Stamp Connection #42

Hi there,

connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Cornelia from Stempel Spass and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 2nd Sunday of the month and this is our 42nd transatlantic get-together!

Our requirement for this meet-up was:
"Halloween"

• stamp two of the adorable little Halloween critters from the My Favorite Things Frightfully Sweet set with Versafine Clair Morning Mist
• color the images with Prismacolor Colored Pencils
• cut out a background panel from watercolor paper with the help of one of the Tattered Lace Torn Edge Rectangles dies
• add color with a gradient wash of Altenew Watercolors Lavender Fields
• cut out the Tim Holtz Cobweb from black cardstock
• mist the cobweb and the background with Shimmer Spritz Sparkle
• stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with Delicata Black Shimmer
• stamp some stars from the WPlus9 Little Bits set with that same shimmery ink color
• add some dots with the Nuvo Crystal Drops Ebony Black as final embelishment before adhering the panel onto a black cardbase

Now make sure to hop over to see Cornelia's Creation.

Christmas CUTplorations REDUX

Hi there,

we are having the Christmas CUTplorations REDUX Blog Hop over on the STAMPlorations Blog and these are my creations.

On my first project I used the CUTplorations Let it snow phrase die:

• stamp one of the houses from the STAMPlorations Houses set and the little fence from the STAMPlorations Houses Extras set with Versafine Clair Morning Mist onto a watercolor panel
• color the scene with Altenew Watercolors
• cut out the CUTplorations Let it snow phrase die twice from sturdy white cardstock and layer both pieces on top of each other
• add dimensional snow using the Tsukineko Radiant Neon Amplify White

And on my second project I used the CUTplorations Stitched Winter Landscape die:

• create a sky background using a panel of watercolor paper, a Mini Ink Blending Tool and Distress Oxide Ink (Tumbled Glass, Broken China)
• mist the background with Pearlized Water for a subtle snow effect
• cut out the CUTplorations Stitched Winter Landscape from smooth white carstock and color the trees and the house with Copic, Touch Twin Brush and Delta Markers
• stamp the snowman from the STAMPlorations Winter Chill set with Memento Tuxedo Black and color the image with Alcohol Markers as well
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with the same black ink
• add highlights with a white gel pen

Enjoy the rest of the hop.
