For My Mom

Hi there,

I created this sweet Mother's Day Card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out two Karten-Kunst Mini Cool Hearts from white cardstock and from black cardstock for the shadow layer
• heat-emboss the white hearts with red embossing powder - I used 5 layers for an extra dimensional finish
• cut out the letters for the rest of the sentiment from pink and black cardstock using the Karten-Kunst Joy Alphabet
• glue all the layers on top of each other
• prepare the cardbase by adding splatters with watered-down black acrylic paint
• ink up the edges of the finished card with Distress Ink Picked Raspberry
• add some heart sequins as final embellishments

Have a wonderful Mother's Day.

Hugs,

What's up?

Hi there,

I created this fun card using the Gerda Steiner Designs What's up stamp set:

• stamp the cat and the mouse from the Gerda Steiner Designs What's up set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
• color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers 
• add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• stamp the sentiment from the same set into a speech bubble with Versafine Clair Morning Mist and heat-emboss it with clear embossing powder
• use an embossing folder and Distress Ink Hickory Smoke to create a brick backdrop
• use a strip of grey cardstock as ground
• create a subtle background using stamps from the Lawn Fawn Critter Chatter: Pets set and second generation stamping with Versafine Clair Nocturne

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
