Hi crafty friends,
Sara here! It's been a long time since I was here, but
today I am super happy to be guesting again for Sunny Studio Stamps! And I
can't wait to show you two inspiration cards featuring some of the recent
released products. So, let's dive into the first card!
Spring has come and the Spring Garland stamp set is a must have! As soon as I
saw the preview, I knew I would have paired those two corner garlands with the
recent released too Penguin Pair, which contains some of the cutest penguins
ever!
I firstly stamped all the images I wanted to feature in my scene using Memento
Black ink on some alcohol friendly paper. Then I colored all the images with my
brand new OLO markers (alcohol markers are my absolutely favourite coloring
mediums and I couldn't resist those ones too). The colors I used are listed
below. I then added some details with the white gel pen and I die cut everything using the coordinating dies.
- Red Combo: R0.6 – R1.5 – R0.4
- Pink combo: RV1.7 – RV1.5 – RV0.4
- Orange combo: O2.7 – O2.5 – O1.3 – YO2.3
- Yellow Combo: Y2.3 – Y1.2 – Y1.1
- Green Combo: YG8.7 – YG1.6 – YG1.4 – YG1.2
- Penguin: RK – RG7 – RG6 – RG5 – OR2.2 – O4.1 – O2.5
For the background, I used the newest Icing Rectangle Frame dies to create a
frame using a brown glitter paper and I put inside a piece of Neenah Desert
Storm cardstock which I previously splattered with some pearl white ink.
For the sentiment, I used one of the mini phrases included in the previous
released Punny Fruit Greetings stamp and I completed it with the word hug, made
with the Chloe Alphabet Dies.
I assembled all the pieces with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape, in order to
create depth, and then I matted the whole scene with a sligthly larger white
panel. To complete everything, I also added some clear sparkly sequins. And
here's the finished result!
For my second inspiration, I went for a more "graphical" card, using
the Woolly Friends stamp set. Who says sheep are only "Easter-themed"? Easter has already passed
and I had to think something different.
I decided to start creating a custom "patterned" design, with a sort
of no-line coloring on some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, since my sheep are
black and white. I repeatedly stamped three of the ones included in the stamp
set (I chose the three who are symmetrical) using a light brown ink and then I
colored all of the faces with OLO (BK- CG9 – CG7 – CG5 – CG4 – OR1.2 for the
blush). As always, when I do some no-line coloring, I use coordinating pencil
colors to add some details at the edges of my images. Then I used a white
pencil to fill the wool and I added some white gel dots on the "fur"
to create some texture. I filled the empty spaces between the sheep with some
black and white dots too.
I then moved to the rest of the card. I knew I wanted to use this custom
patterned panel create a sentiment at the right bottom corner, so I white heat
embossed the "life is better" phrase on some black paper and I die
cut the EWE word from black glitter cardstock using the same alphabet of the
previous card.
I also die cut the largest Loopy Rectangle Frame die to add a frame on my
patterned panel. While I was glueing all down, I realized I would have loved to add another
single sheep next to the sentiment, so I stamped it on a white paper and I
colored using the same combo, then I die cut it with the coordinating die. I assembled everything on a piece of A2 white panel and here's the finished
result too!
Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you will like my projects and you will be
inspired to create something! See you next time!
