Hello
there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back guest designing with
Sunny Studio today. I have three cards to share and I had a lot of fun making
them!
For
my first card, I started off by creating the background for my scene. I stamped
the Cascading Stars stamp on to a piece of watercolour paper, using Versamark
Ink. I applied clear embossing powder and heat set. I then stamped and embossed
the stars again, so that it covered the width of the panel. I took Distress
Inks in various shades of blue and blended these on to the top of the panel for
the night sky. I then blended browns on to the bottom, for the ground. I took
the sentiment from the Critter Campout stamp set and stamped this with black
ink on to the bottom of the panel. This piece was then added to an A2 white
card base with tape runner.
I
took the critters and fire from the Critter Campout stamp set and stamped these
with black ink on to white cardstock. I coloured them with Copic Markers,
adding a little yellow glow to the critters from the fire. These were then die
cut out using the coordinating dies. These were added to the card with foam
tape.
My
next card uses the wonderful Background Basics stamp set to create a background. This
is such a versatile set! I took the polka dot stamp from the set and stamped
this repeatedly over a panel of watercolour paper with Versamark Ink. I applied
white embossing powder and heat set. I then took Distress Inks in rainbow
colours and blended these on to the panel. The panel was cut down and added to
an A2 card base, at an angle, with tape runner.
I
took the turtle from the Oceans of Joy stamp set and stamped him on to white
cardstock with black ink. I coloured him with Copic Markers and die cut out
with the coordinating dies. I also die cut the Hello Word die from black
cardstock three times and stacked these up with liquid glue. The hello die was
added to the card with more liquid glue and the turtle added with foam tape. I
took the ‘sea you soon’ sentiment from the Oceans of Joy stamp set and heat
embossed this in white onto black cardstock. This was cut in to a strip and
added to the card with more foam tape.
For
my last card, I wanted to use the Background Basics stamp set for a border, instead
of a whole background. I really love the accent of black and white stripes on
this card! I took an A2 white card base and stamped the diagonal stripes stamp
from the set on to it using black ink. I then took a panel of watercolour paper
and blended blue Distress ink onto it for a sea background. This was
splattered with water before stamping the sentiment from the Magical Mermaids stamp set on to it with black ink. I added the panel to the card base with foam
tape.
I took one of the mermaids from the Magical Mermaids stamp set, along with the
rock and seaweed, and stamped these on to white cardstock with black ink. I then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I
coloured them with Copic Markers and added them to the card with a combination
of tape runner and foam tape.
I
hope you have enjoyed seeing my cards today, a big thank you to Mendi for
having me guest with Sunny Studio Stamps today! Have a great day!
