Stamp Connection #34

Hi there,

connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Cornelia from Stempel Spass and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 2nd Sunday of the month and this is our 34th transatlantic get-together!

Our requirement for this meet-up was:
"Inspired by Nature"

• cut out a tag from watercolor paper using one of the CUTplorations Manila Tag dies
• add color with the help of Distress Inks (Weathered Wood, Fossilized Amber, Stormy Sky, Weathered Wood)
• add texture using water droplets from the Mini Mister
• stamp some trees from the Stampers Anonymous Great Outdoors set and the sentiment from Scrapbook Werkstatt with Versafine Onyx Black 
• add some stars using another stamp from the Stampers Anonymous set and Delicata Silver Shimmer
• thread some purple linen ribbon through the hole of the tag

Now make sure to hop over to see Cornelia's Creation.

Thanks for stopping by. We hope to see you again at the ...

Yours,

Hi there,

we are starting a new challenge over on the STAMPlorations Blog and this month the topic is "Paint it Red":

• cut out a CUTplorations Manila Tag from watercolor paper and stamp the STAMPlorations Sketched: Cupcake with Versafine (Onyx Black)
• mask the cupcake and add color to the background with Altenew Crisp Ink (Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious) and a Mini Ink Blending Tool
• add some water droplets for extra texture
• stamp the Love from the STAMPlorations Trendy Butterflies set and some ink splatters from the STAMPlorations Art Marks set with Altenew Crisp Ink (Pinkalicious, Rubellite, Razzleberry)
• ink up the edges with the darkest pink
• color the cupcake with Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• thread a piece of beige Sari Silk Ribbon through the hole of the tag

I hope you got inspired.

Yeti Ornament

Hi there,

I created this tag/ornament for the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge and isn't this Yeti simply adorable?

• stamp one of the yetis from the Mama Elephant Me and my Yeti set with Versafine Onxy Black and use the ScanNCut to cut it out with a large border around it
• I removed the watercolor paper from the cutting mat and positioned a piece of patterned paper on it and cut the shape of the yeti again in order to glue it to the backside for a nice finished look
• color the image with Faber-Castell Albrecht-Dürer pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• add highlights to the eyes and the horns with a white gel pen
• cut out a heart from pink glitter paper and place into the yeti's hands
• punch in a tiny hole above the yeti's head
• thread a piece of teal twine through the hole of the ornament

Have a christmasy day.

Yours,
