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,

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,
