Christening card, Vol. 2

Leave a comment

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! I have another Christening card share for you today:

I used various papers and stickers from my older stash to make this one. On the background is a light yellow lace print paper with some golden gel pen “faux stitching” around the edges.

On top some more yellow toned patterned paper with distressed edges and Gansai Tambi pigment golden droplets here and there. On top a fussy cut image, adhered to the paper with 3D-foam and some sticker butterflies and a paper rose.

Underneath the turtle, there is some lace and a border sticker and finally some orange toned glitter alphas for the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Layered, mixed media flower card with gelli background and stamps

Leave a comment

Hello, this time I am up with a slimline mixed media flower card share over at the Rubber Dance blog. For this card I used a stenciled and gelli printed background paper that I created & used also on my previous projects (for example here). For the card I used the Loose Florals stamp set, as well as the Mix It Up 6 stamp set and the Round In Circles stamp set.

For the background gelli paper I used acrylic paints with Marks 2 stencil. You can find the video to that in the post linked above.

First I cut the gelli printed paper into right size to match my card base. Then I stamped with the Round In Circles stamp set stamp some circles on top of the gelli image with salvaged patina and spiced marmalade Distress Oxide Inks. After that I grabbed the Mix It Up 6 stamp set and black stamp ink and added some random stamping on top for additional interest and contrast.

After that I stamped some Loose Florals with black stamp ink onto white paper and colored them very loosely with watercolors and fussy cut them.

Finally I added some golden and silver ink droplets onto the fussy cut flowers as well as onto the background. Then I arrenged the flowers onto the card, added a chipboard sentiment and some half pearls for decor.

I had so much fun creating this card. It has quite a few layers again and happy, bold colors. I hope it makes it´s recipient happy and also inspired you to grab your stamp and stencil stash a play a little!!
Have fun! xxx, Sanna

Slimline birthday card with watercolors and stamps – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s again my turn to share a project over at the Rubber Dance blog today. I created a fun slimline birthday card using watercolors and the Sketchy Flowers stamp set and it turned out very colorful. Here is how I did it:

I first painted “rectangles” with a paint brush and watercolors in rainbow colors onto a slimline card base, let that layer dry and then repeatedly added a black flower stamped image on top onto the whole surface.

Next I painted the flower petals in golden tones and when that layer was dry, I added black watercolor droplets on top of the two layers.

For finishing touches I added some blue details with a blue Posca pen around the edges of the flower petals. After that I just added a chipboard sentiment and the card was done. It´s bold and colorful and still not bulky, so it will be relatively easy to mail.

I hope you get inspired to play with your stamps and watercolors to create funky and bold colored cards.
Happy crafting,

Slimline wedding card with Sketchy Flowers vellum background – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, it´s my turn to share a project over at the Rubber Dance blog today again and I am up with another card idea share. I needed a wedding card for a green colour themed wedding and came up with this idea. I used Sketchy Flowers #3 stamp for this slimline card´s vellum part.

Here is how I created the card:

I first cut the vellum into the size of my slimline card base with a paper trimmer, then stamped the images with embossing ink and white embossing powder around the edges of the vellum piece. Next I flipped the embossed vellum upside down and used alcohol markers to color the flowers and the leaves.

Then I took a green patterned paper, cut that into size and adhered it onto the card base. After that I added a layer of tulle on top of the green patterned paper and fussy cut the vellum piece so, that I could place a paper doll in the middle. For finishing touches I added some chipboard hears and vintage ribbons and a paper flower to go with the vintage wedding couple image.

I hope this card inspired you to try out the embossed and colored vellum idea on your art projects. It is lots of fun!
Happy crafting,
Sanna

Wedding card in shabby chic style

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Today I am sharing a new card creation with you. This time for a wedding theme.

This is a slimline card with lots of pink tones on it. I have used older paper collections from my stash for the background (Basic Grey, anyone?). On top of that I have some modeling paste applied thru a The Crafter´s Workshop stencil in size 6×6. It´s small rose branches going up and down next to the Wycinanka chipboard piece.

I also added some golden splatters with Gansai Tambi golden pigments here and there on the background. And as a centerpiece I layered pink and white flowers and added some Teresa Collins wedding themed stickers on top. There is also a pink and white ribbon going across the card under the flowers.

And onto the chipboard pieces I have added some Nuvo Drops for detail. Since the bride loves pink, I totally went with her color favorite for this card ;-). And luckily, she really liked the card :).

I hope you got inspired to a) use some older product from your stash and b) to create some fun cards yourself!! Wishing you a lovely day &
Happy crafting,
xxx, Sanna
