Lady Bug girl

 Hello, today I'm using another digi from the latest release at Whimsy Stamps: Lady Bug Girl from the Krista Heij Barber line also.

I printed the digi, cut it out and colored it with alcohol markers.

I know lady bugs have more black parts, but I thought that was too dark. I even wanted black hair but opted for something a little brighter, I think that's nicer if it's for a little girl's costume, what do you think?

The background I made with Distress inks: Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover and Evergreen Bough.

I ripped pieces of masking paper to give  the look of rolling fields or hills, but also keeping it abstract. I did splatter with water, cos it is Distress inks, it's mandatory ;-)

Mounted the image with foamtape and adhered her to the cardbase.

The Sentiment is also Whimsy Stamps: Simple Sentiment Strips and I stampe dit with Versafine inks.

You can find the digi in the Whimsy Store here: https://whimsystamps.com/collections/newest-digital/products/lady-bug-girl-digital-stamp

AAA Birthday Card Challenge May : Clean and Simple #61

 

Hello, this month we're all about Clean And Simple.

Much like the sister blog AAA Card Challenges, we look for minimal  or no layers, minimal or no embellishments, ample empty space, aka white space.

For my card I made a rectangular mask and inkblended Distress inks Cracked Pistachio and and on top Peacock Feathers.

The feathers are a stencil from Create a Smile (Federflug which means something like flight of feathers). If they were leaves they'd go too as part of my jungle like scene. The birds and twigs are from a Clearly Besotted set ( Some Birdie loves you) and I wanted them to look like  baby parrots. White gel pen details. Adhered the branch with liquid glue and the parrots with foamtape

Sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps (Simple Sentiment Strips).

AAA Cards Challenge #264: Sketch

Hello, this fortnight we have a sketch and I've used a Christmas Wreath for a "New Home"card.

I kept the wreath from Jeanine's Art (Find it Trading ) white and I colored the Heart in one of the houses red.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted (Tiny Type) and I colored it the same red.

Note this is a 13x18cm card  or 5x7inch, it's rather big, but otherwise the wreath would eat up all the card front and thus white/empty space.

Just a trick anyone can use if you're focal point is a tad too big for a normal size card.

funny flamingo

 

Hello, today I would like to tell you about the new Dustin Pike digi sets, one comprises this funny flamingos from  Whimsy Stamps.

I printed all of them on Alcohol marker paper and then cut them out, I decided to use this particular one in the set and I wanted to make it look like he's resting on the Whimsy Hello word die.

I cut the shadow from the Hello set and inkblended it with Distress inks ( Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Uncharted Mariner, I thought that could look like water and the white Hello like sea foam or the like, but it definitely freshens it up.

I attached the flamingo and hello together with  foamtape.

On the cardbase I swiped  Distress inks also (Scattered Straw ) and splattered with Gathered Twigs to make it look like a beach; but I think with green it would have looked like a lake or glen

Adhered the image and Word to the cardbase and added white gel pen details.

You can find the digi set in the Whimsy Store here:

Fairy Princess

 

Hello, today I wanted to show you one of the new digital stamps from Whimsy: Fairy Princess from the Krista Heij-Barber line.

I went pink tut last time, so I thought I'd do a minty green now with lilac accents, I colored the image with alcohol markers like Spectrum Noir, Triblend and Graph-it brush markers.

The background is made into a masked off area  with Distress inks: Shaded Lilac and Cracked Pistachio and splattered with water. I thought they matched well. The sentiment is from the Simple Sentiment Strip set and I had it stamped on this cardbase from prior sessions, otherwise I  think the Have a magical birthday from yet another, Whimsy Stamps set (Create your own magic) would have been  apt too.

AAA Colourful Challenge #3

 Hello, this month I thought I'd make a baby card, inspired by the colours on the game badge. I did a few shades to give my washing line some contrast.

I've used a dieset from Marianne design (CR1502) with Mintopia cardstock from various mini packs (Summer , Autumn, Floral, Pastel , not sure which exactly).

I've added some double sided tape on the back of the paper, making the shapes, even the tiny ones into stickers, it makes assembling so much easier.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted (Tiny Type) and I"ve stamped it with Memento Dandelion Ink.

I look forward to what you see in the game badge colours, you can enter your card here.

AAA Cards Challenge #263 Anything CAS goes with the option of Wedding (anniversary)

 Hello, this fortnight we have An Anything CAS goes with the option of Wedding or Anniversary.

I didn't take the optional twist, but went with a precolored image  I had in my stash, it's from Clearly Besotted Twinkle Toes, same for the sentiment, and that gave me the idea to make the background into a star shaped inkblended focal point.

For this star I've used Distress inks (Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo) and Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust.

Mounted the image with foamtape and stuck it on top.
