Country Carnival Cards with Anja

Hi everyone, Anja here with you today and I'm excited to be guest designing with the latest Sunny Studio Summer Release. I'm sharing two cards made with the Country Carnival Stamps.

On my first card, I created a fun carnival scene using the carousel, ticket booth, popcorn stand, balloons and bear images.

I started off with ink blending the background. To create a cotton candy colored sky, I used the Distress Oxide Inks Salvaged Patina, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar. The ground was blended with Hickory Smoke ink. I die cut it with the stitched rectangle die from the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set. I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and adhered the background to the white A2 card base.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered everything with liquid glue.

For my second card, I used the awesome ferris wheel and combined it with a couple of other images.

This time I created a portrait A2 card base from white cardstock and blended on some Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink in the background. For the two grass hills, I used Mowed Lawn and Shabby Shutters and die cut them with the Slimline Nature Border Dies.

I picked the girl and boy from the Spring Showers set as well as the small trees included in the Balloon Rides set. The images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I also added the word 'FUN' which I die cut from colored and white cardstock using the Chloe Alphabet Dies. Finally, I assembled the scene by adhering the die cuts, sentiment and images.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have an amazing day!

Watering Can Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello Friends! Audrey here with a fun floral card for you! 

To create this card, I started off by die cutting the Quilted Hearts Portrait background from white cardstock and mounted it to a light grey card base. I stamped the Watering Can with a light and medium shade of grey ink and die cut it with the coordinating Watering Can dies. To fill the watering can, I stamped the Lovely Lilacs florals in several shades of purple and green ink, and die cut them with the coordinating Lovely Lilacs dies. I arranged the flowers, popping some foam tape for added dimension. 

To ground the focal point, I added a strip of woodgrain cardstock to the bottom of the panel which I ink blended with Vintage Photo distress ink to add some different tones to the wood look. I popped the watering can up with foam tape, and added a trio of butterflies which can be found in the Watering Can set. 

Then, I stamped a sentiment from Watering Can to a banner die cut and adhered it to the right side of the panel, overlapping the watering can. To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and some Stickles glitter to the butterfly wings.

Hello to you! Vanessa here with an interactive card using the Watering Can set. On this card the fun is happening inside:

I wanted to make the beautiful butterflies the star of the show, so I stamped a whole lot of them. For this, I used Koi Watercolor Pens, colored the solid stamp with various colors, spritzed the stamp with water and stamped. The result looked messy first, but with the black outlines it turned out pretty.

These are the sets I used:
Watering Can stamps + dies
Lovely Lilacs stamps + dies
Stitched Circle Large Dies

I started with a grey card base and splattered white paint droplets to the inside and outside of it. After I had stamped all images, I die-cut the pieces with the matching dies. Now I die-cut a circle from clear cardstock and cut a spiral out of it. This spiral is the base for the flying butterflies. I adhered the center of the spiral to the bottom part of the card and the outer point to the top part of the card. Then I added the butterflies and adhered the images to the front of the card.

To make the inside a bigger surprise, I kept the front really simple. Because the lilacs and the watering can are layering stamps without outlines, it didn't fit the butterfly with the black details. So I simply used a black marker and added my own outlines to make the butterfly match better.

Have a lovely day everybody!
