Tulip Path Background Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with this lovely Valentine card showcasing the gorgeous Tulip Path Background stamp set that I mixed with two characters from Spring Showers to create a sweet scene at the park.

I started off by creating a fairly simple background and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Quilted Hearts Portrait panel out of kraft cardstock that I attached to a brown panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base using liquid glue.

Next I stamped the Tulip Path Background twice on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. From the first panel, I cut a snippet featuring the tulips and the path using the fifth smallest Rounded Rectangle Window die, and from the second panel, I cut two snippets featuring the mill and the trees using the third and fourth smallest Rounded Rectangle Window dies. I colored those three little scenes using my Ohuhu markers, matted them on slightly larger white panels I cut using the third, fourth and fifth smallest Rounded Rectangle Mat dies, and then attached the three panels on the card base using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

I stamped additional images: clouds and butterflies from Tulip Path Background, and characters and kites from Spring Showers. I cut them using the matching dies, colored everything using my Ohuhu markers again, and stuck those images to the card using foam squares. I white heat embossed "You make my heart soar" from Balloon Rides on dark brown cardstock and cut it into a slim banner that I attached at the bottom left corner of my card. I stamped two bird silhouettes on the mill snippet using a stamp from Spring Scenes, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the butterflies wings to make them sparkle, and finished the card with highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I hope that you like this super sweet card! I really like how it turned out, just as if it was a cork board with pinned photos on it. Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week!

Designer's Choice: Panda Party Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back with this extra busy slimline card that combines two of my favorite things: a stenciled background and alcohol marker coloring. I've had this idea of pairing the pandas from Panda Party with the panda umbrellas from Spring Showers for quite some time, and I'm thrilled to finally be able to share it with you!

I started off by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock 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 my Graph'it brush markers. Obviously I used my black and light gray markers a lot to color my cute pandas and umbrellas, as well as greens, yellows and aquas for the leaves and flowers.

Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Panda Party + Bighearted Bears - pandas • Seasonal Trees - log • Spring Showers - umbrellas • Fabulous Flamingos - leaves • Tiki Time - toucans • Bunnyville - butterflies • Tropical Birds - leaves, ivy, flowers • Silly Sloths - flowers, leaves.

To fit all my images in one single scene, I cut an 8.5 x 3.5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and colored it using stencils from my stash. On the lower part, I created a grass border using a slimline hillside stencil along with mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks. I then mixed some rustic wilderness oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on my grass border.

Next I covered the whole upper part with salvaged patina oxide ink, and used a bamboo stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink to create a bamboo forest. I also applied a little bit of peacock feathers oxide ink on the edges of my panel, and added texture, starting with water droplets that I dried using a paper towel. Next I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water, added splatters on my bamboo background using my small brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. And finally, I used a rainy background stencil along with sparkling clear paste to make rain.

Once my panel was dry, I attached all my images on the panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and then worked on my greeting. I started off by white heat embossing the banner from Little Birdie on vellum, next I embossed "You're pandastic" from Panda Party inside the banner, cut that banner using the matching die, and attached it to my panel using clear 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! I had so much fun making this card, it turned out so stinking cute, don't you think? Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
