Rusty Bloom

Hi there,

I tried something new today: Distress Inks on Photo Paper. I got the idea from a YouTube Short by Ranger. So I created this rusty, vintage card for the Karten-Kunst Blog.

• add color to a panel of photo paper with Distress Ink (Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo) using a brayer
• run the panel through your Big Shot in an embossing folder
• add Distress Ink Walnut Stain to the raised areas
• add some Distress Oxide Spray Salvaged Patina
• use the Karten-Kunst Card Designer A6 die set to cut the panel apart
• stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Weise Worte für Freunde with white pigment ink and heat-emboss it with Distress Embossing Glaze Salvaged Patina
• cut the Karten-Kunst Carissa Bloom from dark brown cardstock and add it to the layout
• add some splatters with the Distress Oxide Spray Salvaged Patina

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Birthday Basket

Hi there,

you can also use the Anjas Basteltraum Geschenkekörbchen die set to create a Valentine's Day Basket or like in my case a Birthday Basket for your daughter:

• cut out all the parts for the Anjas Basteltraum Geschenkekörbchen from watercolor paper
• add color with Distress Oxide Spray Spun Sugar and ink up the edges with Distress Ink Spun Sugar

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Oh, how Joyful

Hi there,

I created this card using one of the cute images from the Anjas Basteltraum Weihnachtsmusikanten stamp set:

• stamp the sweet little fox from the Anjas Basteltraum Weihnachtsmusikanten 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
• create a background using a snowflake stencil, glitter paste and Distress Oxide Spray Salvaged Patina
• add some tree die cuts and strips of creme and kraft cardstock before adhering the focal image on top
• stamp the sentiment from the same set onto a piece of vellum with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Pale Super Fine embossing powder

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
