happy friday

sending smiles

In today's card I used the cute Arctic Penguins and made a cluster of them by masking a couple of them. I then cut out a window and around the image with a craft knife leaving a white border. On another cardstock I did some blending and embossed the sentiment with some white embossing powder. I then adhered the panel behind the image with some foam tape and finished it off with some faux stitching lines. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

This stamp set from Mama Elephant is just so adorable! I started by doing some copic colouring and then die cut them using the coordinating dies. The gift and the flower is from the Arctic Penguins stamp set. I used the stitched circles dies to cut out the three circles towards the left of the card leaving ample space on the right for the balloons and the sentiment. I finished the card by popping the white panel onto a cream cardstock using some foam adhesives. Hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by.

In these cards I have used the Party Pals stamp set from Paper Smooches in two ways. On the first card I stamped the image with black ink and with Antique Linen distress ink in the second card. I wanted to achieve a no line colouring look but there was a bit of goof up and I drew in the image with a Rusty Hinge distress marker to make the image pop up a bit more. I adhered the card on to a white card stock and some patterned paper. Which one would you go for?

Thanks for dropping by.

happy weekend

watercolour card for SSS Work it Wednesday April 2015

Just love this cute stamp Furry Cat and Box from Simon Says Stamp. I started by stamping with some black archival ink and coloured it with some watercolours and then cut it out leaving a white border. I took a piece of watercolour paper and then did some water colouring with distress inks and splattered a few drops with my wet brush. I then finished the card off with a sentiment from the same stamp set and some natural twine.
