Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Akesdotter

Hi everyone! I'm Karin Ã…kesdotter from Peppermint Patty’s Papercraft and I am so excited to be here to share some cards that I've created using the new Sunny Studio stamps. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Pink Peonies Frilly Frame Dies Love Monkey Wishes Word Die Birthday Card by Karin Akesdotter

For my first card I started by making a card base from white cardstock and then cut a scalloped panel using the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies. Next I die cut the beautiful "quilt" pattern through a rectangle piece of white cardstock, which I then adhered to the center of my card. This made a beautiful, textured background for the wonderful Pink Peonies

The peonies were first stamped in Antique Linen Distress ink, then colored with Copic markers before re-stamping and embossing the flowers again with gold embossing. I then made a little flag - with an embossed sentiment from Love Monkey and the Wishes Word die.

My second card was made in a very similar way, I just used dark colored cardstock instead to get a totally different look. So many possibilities with these wonderful sets!

My last card is a fun and simple design where I stamped a row of adorable chicks, using the Chickie Baby stamp set. I then masked them off and inked the background with Distress ink. Before removing the masking I spattered the background with gold watercolor from Daniel Smith.
