Sunflower dreams and hugs

 Hello again today!

Second crafty goodbyes this week, this will be my last post as a Digi Doodle Studios DT member - at least for now, but who knows what the future brings 😀

Anyways, it's been unusual sunny and hot weather here in Finland, so I went with summery feelings with this card. 
 
I used Sunflower Dreams digi and coloured it with alcohol markers and white gel pen. The sky I did with Distress Ink and stencil. I also added yellow glitter glue to the center of the flowers.

I wanted to keep this simple so I just die cut the image and frame for it and then added hugs die cuts (there's black under the yellow one to create dimension and shadow).

Going Dotty

Hi everyone and happy wednesday!

It's time for new The Paper Shelter challenge and theme this time is 'Going Dotty'. And here is how I see it 😃

I used this beautiful Mushroom Castle digi and coloured it with alcohol markers. The sky I did with Distress Inks and stencil. Then I die cut the image and also little bigger frame for it and taped them to the card base. 
 
Then I cut some circles with hole punch and glued them on the red frame. I think this is more fun than just add the polka dot paper - though that would be easier 😊



Remember to join our challenge at The Paper Shelter blog. If you use The Paper Shelter digi at your challenge card you can win 30$ gift certificate.

Thank you

Hi everyone!

Sadly this is my last post as a DT member of Visible Image 😢
Sometimes it's just so annoying to live here in middle of the nowhere - postage is high and it takes ages to get anything here from abroad. It makes things difficult..

But that's enough of negativity. This short time has been so awesome and I'm grateful of that. 
 
So, as my last DT work I did Thank you card.
 
 


Firstly I did the background. I used Drizzle stencil and paste and when it was dry I added Distress Oxides (squeezed lemonade and mowed lawn) and water and let them dry. Finally I added Lindy's Gang blazing sun glitz spritz to create some shine.


 

Then I did the flowers. I added Lindy's Gang hibiscus rose spray and yodeling yellow color powder to watercolor card stocks. When they were dry I stamped two different sized inky flowers with Create It stamp set and VersaFine onyx black ink pad.



After that I cut the flowers, added Glossy Accents all over them and left them to dry.


 
 
Here's closeup from one of the flowers.
 
 
 
 
Then I stamped Thank you text using Go To Words stamp set and VersaFine ink (the background I did earlier to some other project with Distress Oxide picked raspberry) and die cut it. I also added some Glossy Accents drops on it.
 


After everything was surely dry I assembled the card. 
 
I taped the background part on black card stock and again on other card stock (where I added some yellow and green ink). Thank you text came in the middle of the card and flowers on two opposite corners. I also added some dots on the center of the flowers with pastel green and pastel pink Pearl Maker.




And here's some more closeups.

Missing you pig time

Hi everyone!

This is my first post as a Brutus Monroe Brand Ambassador and I'm so thrilled 😃 I really loved doing this card and I love these stamps!

So, at this card I used awesome Farmland background stamp and coloured it with alcohol markers. The scene would have been great by itself, but I wanted to add some cute piggies from Farmhouse Friends stamp set and the bigger one Polly the Piggy stamp (that includes also die - so easy!).

Monster Mash

Hi! 

Here's my new card using Oddball Members Exclusive June 2021 Monster Mash image.
 
I coloured the image with alcohol markers. On the letters I also added Glossy Accents.

The background I did with stencil and paste, and then added some Lindy's Gang Magical powders and water.


 

Here you can see the shine much better - but otherwise the colours are off..

Brother and sister

Hi!
 
Here's my new project with Visible Image stamps Set The Tone, Brother Definition and Sister Definition.
 



First I stamped the background with Set The Tone stamp set and VersaFine Clair ink pads (Blue Belle and Verdant).



Then I stamped the Brother Definition using the same colours.


 

And added some dots to definitions edges with Set The Tone stamp and blue ink.


 
 
Then I just assembled the background, definition part and blue cardboard on card base. The definition part I taped with foam tape to create some dimension.
 

 

And here's the whole card and products used.


 

I also wanted to do the same with Sister Definition, just using different colours (VersaFine Glamorous & Summertime).

 
 
There's little difference, because I cut the background too small, but I just added some more stamping to couple corners of the card base.


 
 
 
And here's the result 😊
