Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Francine Vuilleme

Hi everyone! Francine Vuillème from 1001 CARTES here! I’m so happy to guest for Sunny Studio Stamps again this year! Many thanks to Mendi for inviting me. Today, I have two cards for you featuring the newest Spring collection. Here is what I came up with: 

For the first card, I chose to showcase the newest Sparkle word die and the Born To Sparkle stamp set. They can be combined with cute images but also used as stand-alone sentiments on a simple background. They are so versatile! I went for a colorful galaxy background using rainbow colors (as very often lol). I used watercolor paper and Winsor & Newton watercolors. Once it was dry, I splattered white ink over the panel to create the stars. I heat embossed the bigger stars with white embossing powder using the sparkly element stamps from the set. I adhered the panel to a top-folded card base created with black cardstock. I die cut the "sparkle" word and heat embossed it using golden embossing powder and fixed it to the card front using foam pads. I stamped the sentiment from the Born To Sparkle set to white cardstock, cut it and fixed it to the panel with foam pads too.   

For the second card, I used the Team Player stamp set. I think that this set is AMAZING. I don’t have many sets featuring sports stamps so this is a must-have for me! I wanted to feature the beautiful cup image. I went for a clean and simple design. I created a background using a sunburst stencil. I sponged it with black Distress ink and added tiny black and white dots to create a sparkle effect. I stamped, colored and cut the cup. I adhered the image to the stenciled background and added a stamped sentiment from the set.

That’s all for me! I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting!
