Warm Hugs

Hi there,

I would like to show you this sweet Winter Card over on the Stamping-Fairies Blog today:

  • cut out one of the smaller My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX
  • stamp the three pillow from the My Favorite Things Merry Christmoose set with Memento (Tuxedo Black) and color them with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
  • add little dots with a silver gel pen
  • cut out a stitched panel using the My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX
  • stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versafine (Onyx Black)
  • create a background with the help of the My Favorite Things Mini Modern Blooms set and Altenew Crisp Ink (Persian Blue, Volcano Lake) and Versafine (Imperial Purple)
  • add some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins (6mm Sparkling Clear, 4mm Cornflower, Aquamarine, Pansy Purple) as final embellishments

I hope you got inspired.

Yours,

Let it Snow Penguin Scene

Hi there,

this is my third creation using one of the wonderful images from the Gerda Steiner Designs December-January Digital-Stamp-Bundle:

  • color the Gerda Steiner Designs Penguin with Hat image which is available as part of the December-January Digital-Stamp-Bundle with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
  • add texture to the rim and the pompon of the cap with white Liquid Applique
  • cut out a stitched panel from watercolor paper and create a little lake scene
  • stamp the sheet of ice from the Lawn Fawn Critters in the Arctic set with Versafine (Smokey Gray) and color it with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens - mask it off
  • draw in the lake border with a grey pen
  • stamp some trees from the Lawn Fawn Let it Snow set with Versamark and heat-emboss them with Zing! Leaf embossing powder and WOW! Earthtone Mint embossing powder
  • add color to the backgroud with Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Salty Ocean) and a Mini Ink Blending Tool 
  • stamp in some snowflakes from the Lawn Fawn Critters in the Arctic set with Hero Arts Shadow Ink (Silver)
  • add white splatters with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor
  • mount the panel onto a piece of dark blue cardstock - use the Mini Perfect Layers Tool for the perfect border
  • adhere the cute penguin with foam tape 
  • stamp the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Let it Snow set with Versamark onto a strip of that same dark blue cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder and also adhere that strip using foam tape

I hope you got inspired.

Yours,
