Christmas Mail

Hi there,

I created this Christmas Card for Anjas Basteltraum using the Lebkuchenbäckerei and Kleine Weihnachtspost stamp sets:

• cut out four Time for Tea Designs Slimline Postage Stamps from white and red cardstock
• stamp some images from the Anjas Basteltraum Lebkuchenbäckerei set and the sentiment from the Anjas Basteltraum Kleine Weihnachtspost set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
• color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• ink up the edges of the postage stamps with Versamark and heat-emboss them with WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine embossing powder
• create a background using green cardstock, the Spellbinders Argyle Plaid embossing folder, Versamark and that same golden embossing powder
• assemble the card and add little dots with a golden gel pen

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Too Cute to Spook

Hi there,

I created this cute Halloween Card for Mennys Bastelshop using the Gerda Steiner Designs Ghosts and Halloween Ghosts stamp sets:

• stamp four ghosts from the Gerda Steiner Designs Ghosts and Halloween Ghosts sets with Lawn Fawn River Rock
• color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• create a background with the help of Distress Ink (Wilted Violet, Black Soot), watered-down white gouache and the Elizabeth Craft Designs Spiderweb cut from black cardstock
• add the Time for Tea Designs Too Cute to Spook as a sentiment cut from vellum and black cardstock - apply Wink of Stella Clear Glitter for extra sparkle 

Have a Happy Halloween.

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,
