Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Donna Mikasa

Hello and Happy Saturday! Donna Mikasa here and I’m excited to share some projects using products from the newest Sunny Studio release.

I’ve combined new and older products that I thought worked well together. For my first project, I made a card with the happy go lucky pup from Dashing Dachshund.

A sky was ink blended on watercolor card stock and spattered with water. I used the Snowflake Circle Frame Die as a focal point, die cutting the snowflakes from glitter card stock.

A little secret on how I “colored” the pup. Since my Copic markers are drying up from not being used, I decided to stencil in the colors by cutting out the pup and laying it over the stamped image. I stenciled in the color and die cut him out. It’s not perfect coloring but I wanted o test out a different way to color an image. The sentiment is from Holiday Style.

For my second project, I made a simple tag using Holiday Hugs. I made a polar bear holding a large snowflake, again using snowflakes from the Snowflake Circle Frame Die.

An arch shaped tag was cut from white card stock and ink blended with blue inks. To give the tag some texture, I ran it through the Moroccan Circles embossing folder.

The polar bear was colored and cut with the matching dies and adhered to the tag. I added more snowflakes and a simple sentiment from the same set.

I like that Sunny Studio Stamps can be mixed and matched with older sets so you can stretch their usage throughout the holiday.
