Birthday Bus | Avery Elle

Hello everyone! This time I am really on to the dailymarker30day challenge which lasts all September long. Although there isn't much time I enjoy coloring a bit every day. That's why I don't have many minutes for writing blog posts and completing card projects.

However, I can show you this Birthday card for today. I made two at once for my stash. I started with coloring the cute birthday bus from Avery Elle with Copics. After fuzzy cutting the image I created the background by stamping more images from the set with manatee Lawn Fawn dye ink. 

Then I used a heart stencil and Nuvo embellishement mousse to create some texture. I colored in strips of paper with Copics and used the sentiment from the set. After adhering all to the cardbase I added some Nuvo drops and shimmer with the wink of stella pen. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Christmas Cards 2017 No. 1 | Mama Elephant

Hi everyone! Today I post my first Christmas card this year. Yap - I am really early this year. However, I plan to make Christmas cards parallel to all year 'round greeting cards. Then I won't run out of birthday cards etc. during winter (that's what I hope).

I started out by covering a piece of white cardstock with the blizzard bold prints background stamp from Hero Arts. I used the moonstone ink from Lawn Fawn because it is a beautiful soft blue color. Then I die cut that paper with the stitched hillside cover die from Mama Elephant a long with another piece of white cardstock. From that I cut only a piece so that I looks like snow hills. 

From grey cardstock I die cut the snow caped mountains from Mama Elephant. Before I adhered them to my background I had added stitched details with one of the stitched borders dies from Lawn Fawn so that it matches the stitched hillside cover.

After my little background scene was finished I stamped the images from Pix's happy holiday with Memento tuxedo black and colored them in with Copics. I also added some shimmer with the wink of stells pen. I fuzzy cut the images and adhered them to my winter scene.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a nice day!

Birthday flowers | Mama Elephant and Clearly Besotted

Hi there! I am here for a quick blogpost to show you my recent cards. I used the stamp set 'timeless tulips' from Mama Elephant and played with my Gansai Tambi watercolors.

For each of the cards I applied three layers of color. The first one is a very light base layer, then a darker one and a very intensive last layer. I used only one color for the flowers and for the leafs - only the amount of water changed.

With black and the beautiful pearlescent color included in the 36 color set I mixed a light silver color and applied it around the bouquet. 

Last but not least I added the sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

Thank you for stopping by and have an awesome day!
