Life is Good

Hi there,

I created this beach scene for Mennys Bastelshop and this involved as you can imagine a lot of masking:

• stamp the images and the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Car Critters, Car Critters Road Trip Add On, Fintastic Friends and Mermaid for You sets with Gina K. Designs Obsidian - use the masking technique
• color the images and part of the background with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
• ink up the edges of the panel with Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Tea Dye)
• cut out some clouds from the Lawn Fawn Butterfly Kisses Die set from vellum and add them as final embelishment

Have a wonderful summer.

Hugs,

Happy Birthday Candles

• color the candles with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers
• add strips of colored cardstock and patterned paper to the top and bottom of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

Have a colorful day.

Hi there,

I created these two teacher appreciation cards for the Mennys Bastelshop Inspiration Week with the topic "Reading/School" - "Lesen/Schule" using the adorable Mama Elephant School Rules Stamp Set:

• stamp some of the adorable images from the Mama Elephant School Rules set with Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf Ink
• color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers and add extra shading Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils
• stamp the sentiments onto the little blackboards with Versamark and heat-emboss them with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder - for a chalky blackboard look I used some real chalk
• stamp the My Favorite Things Whimsical Woodgrain onto a kraft cardstock stitched background panel with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder as well
• use some Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the glasses of the bunny
• cover the cardbase with some patterned paper

Have a wonderful day.
