Guest Design: Wheek, Wheek, Wheek... by Anika Lerche

Hey stampers, Anni here!

I am so happy to be back again as a guest designer for Gerda Steiner Designs. And I played with this super cute set called Wheek, Wheek, Wheek...Guinea Pig - and I had so much fun.

I started by stamping one of the guinea pigs and all the lettuce leaves and tomatoes. For the colouring I used alcohol markers. To colour the guinea pig I added strokes to the image and didn't blend them to achieve the look of fur.
To take it even a step further I also added some details with coloured pencils and a white gel pen. I fussy cut the images and set them aside.

For the background I die cut a rectangle from white cardstock and blended some turquoise and blue ink onto the panel. Some spritzer of water to add a little bit of intrest to the "sky" and my background was finished.

I chose one of the punny sentiments from the set, heat embossed it in white on a stripe of black card stock. Thean I arrenged everything on my cardbase and that finished up my card.

I will be back next Monday with another card!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
Anni
