Truckloads of Love Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, today I'm taking you to the countryside to go apple picking with the cutest mice. As you can see, they've been busy, and as very often I went through my entire Sunny Studio collection to pick the perfect images to build my scene.

I first started by stamping all the images on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. And I always like to pick a color palette for each card I make, this time I went for a green + orange + yellow + red combo. Here is a detailed list of the sets I used:

• Truckloads Of Love: truck, small apples, crates

• Harvest Mice: big mice, sweaters, cart

• Merry Mice: small mice, scarves\

• Christmas Critters: mouse (in the truck)

• Seasonal Trees: trees, birdhouses, bird

• Fall Friends: big apples

• Garden Critters: grass

Next I worked on the background, and created a simple stenciled landscape on an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. On the lower part I did two grass borders using shabby shutters and mowed lawn oxide inks, and on the upper part I did a cloudy sky using tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks.

I stamped my "Friends like you are such a blessing" greeting from Fall Friends in black in the top middle part of the panel, attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! So, how many apples did you pick? I hope that you like this new super cute scene. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Coastal Cuties Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm super happy to be back on the blog with this summer slimline card featuring some cute characters having fun at the beach. To create this card, I did one of my favorite things, which is to start with one single set, and then search through my entire stamps collection to find the images that would go perfectly in my scene.

The first thing I did was to stamp all the images on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. So like I said I started with one stamp set, Coastal Cuties, and picked a whole bunch of additional stamps from different sets:

- the palm tree + parrot from Sending Sunshine
- the balloon + sandcastle + bag + sunscreen + parasol + shovel + two characters from Beach Babies
- the sun from Balloon Rides
- the leaves + flowers from Fabulous Flamingos
- the fish from Penguin Pals
- the grass sprigs from Garden Critters
- the palm tree + coconuts from Seasonal Trees
- the heart sunglasses from Beach Buddies
- the chair + a character from Kiddie Pool

Once the coloring was done, I moved on to the background, and cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I divided it into three parts that I colored using oxide inks and stencils. At the bottom I created an ocean border using salvaged patina + peacock feathers + blueprint sketch oxide inks. In the middle I did two sand borders using antique linen + vintage photo oxide inks. And at the top I created the sky using squeezed lemonade + dried marigold + kitsch flamingo oxide inks.

Next I white heat embossed my "Happy summer" greeting from Beach Babies at the very bottom of my panel, and then attached my images using 1mm foam squares. As always I finished my card by adding highlights and details using a white gel pen. And I ended up with three little scenes: building a sandcastle on the upper part, relaxing and drinking a cocktail on the middle part, and having fun in the waves on the lower part. 

Where do you see yourself? Me? You will find me in the chair with an orangeade in my hand! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Sealiously Sweet Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I'm super happy to be back on the blog with this new summer card featuring three cuties from Sealiously Sweet. I wanted the one on the rubber ring to float and move on the water, so I followed the same process as the Penguin Party card I made back in November to create today's card.

I started off by cutting my panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and I stenciled it using oxide inks: squeezed lemonade + dried marigold + kitsch flamingo for the sky, antique linen + vintage photo for the sand, and salvaged patina + peacock feathers + blueprint sketch for the ocean. And once the panel was dry, I white heat embossed my "Have an awesome summer" greeting from Sealiously Sweet at the bottom.

I built the whole mechanism, attached my interactive panel on a slightly bigger pink panel, and then the pink panel on a slightly bigger Dots & Stripes pastels yellow pattern paper, and then I moved on to the coloring.

I picked three lovely seals and some water splatters from Sealiously Sweet, the coconuts and palm tree from Seasonal Trees and the one from Sending Sunshine, the flowers from Chickie Baby, the tiny shovel from Beach Babies, the sun from Balloon Rides, and the fish from Penguin Pals.

I stamped all those images on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Graph'it brush markers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. Once all my images were done, I attached them all on my panel using 1mm foam squares, and finally added highlights and details using a white gel pen.

And that's it! What would I give to be floating on a rubber ring, bouncing in the waves... *sigh* I hope that you like this cute and fun summer card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Critter Campout Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends! Marine here, so happy to be back with a new 3D card showcasing the little guys from Critter Campout. It was my first time coloring them, and I had a lot of fun creating this camping in the woods scenery for them.

I started off with the coloring. I stamped all my images on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, as always I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my Graph'it brush markers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. And in addition to the little campers from Critter Campout, I picked the pine trees from Seasonal Trees, the tree trunk from Happy Harvest, and the grass sprigs from Bunnyville.

Once everything was colored, I cut all the 3D elements and built the card base. I wanted to have a night sky in the back, so I used blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire and black soot oxide inks to make a dark background. I also cut three grass borders using the grass die from Picket Fence Border Die, and colored those borders using mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks.

I attached five trees on the back panel using 1mm foam squares, and then the remaining images on the grass borders using 3mm glue dots. To decorate both sides of the card I used a plaid pattern paper from the Critter Country paper pack, and finally I white heat embossed my "Life with you is an adventure" greeting from Critter Campout on the front.

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely little camping scene in the woods. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
