Delft Pottery

Hi there,

inspired by Delft Pottery I created this card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

  • stamp one of the Karten-Kunst Delicate Plants with Distress Ink Chipped Sapphire onto a piece of watercolor paper
  • color the image with watercolors and add some splatters
  • rough up the edges of the watercolor panel and adhere it to a dark blue background with embossed polka dots
  • stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Aus der Schreibmaschine with Versamark onto a strip of dark blue cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

You are Magical

Hi there,

it's time for the Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week our topic is "Regenbogen/Rainbow". I used the Paperie Ink Magical Unicorn stamp set on my project:


  • stamp one of the unicorns from the Paperie Ink Magical Unicorn set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
  • color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • add some sparkle with a Stardust gel pen
  • stamp the sentiment from the same set with Brilliance Pearlescent Orchid
  • create a background using the Clearly Besotted Stamps Splat it stencil and leftover ink on your Blending Brushes
  • use an Action Wobbler to adhere the unicorn to the panel
  • add strips of patterned paper to the left and right side of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
