Hugs for my Little Mouse

Hi there,

I created this sweet New Baby Card using the adorable little mouse from the Anjas Basteltraum Hallo Baby stamp set:

• stamp the little mouse and two clouds from the Anjas Basteltraum Hallo Baby set with Lawn Fawn River Rock
• color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
• add highlights with a white gel pen
• cut out the sentiment with the help of the Spellbinders Everyday Sentiments die set from white cardstock and vellum - add color to the white layer with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers
• cut out some flowers with the help of the Spellbinders Parcel & Post Mailbox die set
• add texture to the background using the We R Memory Keepers Dotted embossing folder

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Feline the Holiday Spirit, yet?

Hi there,

I created this sweet Christmas Card using the brand new Gerda Steiner Designs Furry & Bright stamp set:

• stamp the image from the Gerda Steiner Designs Furry & Bright set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
• color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• run a background panel through your Big Shot in the We R Memory Keepers Spotted embossing folder
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Metallic Silver embossing powder
• ink up the edges of the panel with Distress Ink (Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot) and splatter it with watered-down white gouache
• add a strip of kraft cardstock and the image on top

Thanks for stopping by.

Peek-a-Boo Panda

Hi there,

I created this cute little peek-a-boo card as a thank you card:

• stamp the adorable little panda from the Avery Elle Peek a Boo Pals set with Gina K Ink in Jet Black
• color the image with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• create a little envelope using the We R Memory Keepers Mini Envelope Punch Board
• create the Pull Tab Mechanism
• use some patterned paper and woodgrain cardstock for the background
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versafine Onyx Black
• use the Lawn Fawn Scripty thanks die for the second part of the sentiment - the top layer is cut from turquoise cardstock and the two layers behind it are white - this gives it extra sturdiness and dimension

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Hi there,

sadly, this is my last post as the Seize the Birthday Special Party Guest and I created a card using a sketch as my inspiration:

• color some scraps of watercolor paper with watercolors from the Daniel Smith Essientials and PrimaTek Watercolor Sets - add splatters with watered-down Delicata Re-Inker (Shimmery Silver)
• cut out a background and a frame from this watercolor piece using the My Favorite Things Stitched Circle STAX; cut an additional frame from foam rubber and a circle from acetate
• assemble the shaker piece and add Pretty Pink Posh Sequins (4mm and 6mm Sparkling Clear, 6mm Pink Peonies, 4mm Pansy Purple, 4mm Metallic Silver) before closing it
• cut out flowers and leaves from the watercolor piece with the help of the Paper Smooches Flowers dies
• emboss a piece of grey cardstock using the We R Memory Keepers Bouquet Next Level embossing folder and ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Hickory Smoke)
• adhere the embossed piece to another panel of grey cardstock and stamp the sentiment from Clearly Besotted Stamps Many Mini Messages with Versafine (Smokey Gray)
• wrap silver thread around the panels multiple times before adhering them to a cardbase
