Winter Birthday Tag

Hi there,

I created this Winter Birthday Tag for the Stamping-Fairies Facebook Group:

• cut out a tag from watercolor paper using one of the dies from the Sizzix Tag Collection
• create a background with the help of Distress Oxide Inks (Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, Milled Lavender)
• stamp the Neat & Tangled Falling Flakes with Versamark and heat-emboss them with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• stamp one of the adorable little deer from the Neat & Tangled Oh Deer set
• color it with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versamark onto a strip of black cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• cut out a hill shape from white cardstock with the help of one of the My Favorite Things Stitched Snow Drifts
• dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Stain Milled Lavender and thread it through the hole of the tag

Have a wonderful day.

What's on the Table?

Hi there,

I created this adorable Birthday Card using images from the Gerda Steiner Designs What's on the Table? digital stamp set:

• create a scene using images from the Gerda Steiner Designs What's on the Table? digital stamp set
• color the images with Derwent Inktense pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• add highlights with a white gel pen
• stamp the sentiment from the Gerda Steiner Designs Happy Hoppy set with Versafine Onyx Black
• cut a decorative edge at the top
• layer a piece of patterned paper from the Doodlebug Design Fairy Tales 6x6 paper pad behind the panel before adhering it to the cardbase
• add Nuvo Glitter Drops White Blizzard to the icing on the cupcakes for extra sparkle and dimension

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
