Hi everyone! How are you today? Here it was bank holiday, so got lots of crafting done, yay! Today I have this card to share with you:
Lots of paper piecing on this one, as it is what the current Lawnscaping's challenge required. I got to use one of my new stamp sets from Lawn Fawn, Blissful Botanicals, and I love it!
I started by stamping the flowers and butterflies on a piece of white cardstock and on the label I cut using my silhouette. I use distress inks and an ink applicator to color the label in blue, as to mimic the sky. Then I color the other flowers and butterflies using my promarkers, and I cut them all.
I started to glue everything down onto the label, giving some dimension to the butterflies.
I used the Canvas Stripes stamp from Hero Arts for the front of the card, by stamping it a couple of times using Antique Linen distress ink. I used the same ink to distress the edges of the card, after I rounded the corners using my Corner Chomper.
Added the label to the front of the card, and stamped the sentiment (one of the free "thank you" stamps you get with the Lawn Fawn orders) with Black Memento ink. Then I added some pearls and some Glossy Accents to finish the card.
You still have time to enter this challenge from Lawnscaping, so go over there and create something!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked it!!
Hiya again! Just a quick post tonight to share a card with you.
Very easy card, and I got to use my new fall distress ink Gathered Twigs and the digikit is Say it from Hero Arts. Great sentiments on that one!
Ok, hope you liked it and thanks for stopping by!
Hi everyone! Wow, it's been a long time! I have been a VERY bad blogger, sorry ;) It's just between getting used to my new job, and friends visiting, and getting ill, I didn't have time to blog or even craft!!
But this week, as I was ill, and not going anywhere, I made some cards, yay!!! I got three new packages on the mail, so lots of new goodies to play with! And I am still waiting for my package from Hero Arts!! So be prepared to see lots of new things!
Ok, this is the card I am sharing with you today:
I bought my first two stamp sets from Paper Smooches, and they are soooo cute, and great quality!
I stamped the frog and the crown with black Memento ink and colored them using my promarkers.
Using my Silhouette, I cut from white cardstock, the pond (that I made with two oval shapes), the cattails (design from HA for the Silhouette) and the labels for the sentiment.
I used distress inks to color the pond and cattails. I stamped the sentiment with black Memento ink and colored the bigger label using a promarker.
I glued everything down, putting the frog and sentiments on dimensionals.
Then I added some Glossy Accents to some parts of the card.
Here is a close up:
I LOOOOVE those super cute animals from Paper Smooches! Expect to see lots of cards using them!
I am going to enter the current Simon Says Stamp Challenge with this card. The challenge is Nursery Rhymes or Fairytales, so I thought the frog turning into a prince was the perfect inspiration ;)
You still have time to enter the challenge, so make a card and link it, because you could win:
Ok, have to go make dinner now, but I will be here tomorrow to share another card, I promise!!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked it!!
