I love you this much

Hi there,

it's Tanja here and I created this Wedding Anniversary Card for my husband using the new cute Gerda Steiner Designs More than Pie stamp set:


  • stamp the little bear from the new Gerda Steiner Designs More than Pie set with Versafine (Onyx Black) and color the image with Faber-Castell Albrecht-Dürer Pencils and a damp watercolor brush
  • apply some Distress Oxide Inks (Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet) to a piece of watercolor paper and add Pearlized Water for more texture
  • cut out a heart from this background using one of the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hearts Stackables dies
  • run a stitched panel of cream cardstock through the Big Shot together with a woodgrain embossing folder
  • stamp the custom-made sentiment with the help of the Gerda Steiner Designs Holiday Friends, the Gerda Steiner Designs Cheerful Hedgehogs, the Gerda Steiner Designs Bats and Memento (Tuxedo Black)
  • color the sentiment strip and the edge of a panel with Alcohol Markers to match the rest of the card
  • add a strip of silver glitter paper underneath the sentiment strip and layer all the pieces together

I hope you got inspired.

Yours,

VIDEO No-Line Watercoloring featuring Cheerful Hedgehogs

Hi, friends!  It's Tara and I am so excited to share this project with you today! I promised in my last Curl E. Q&A video that I would be "falling" all over September since this is my absolute favorite season and this card just makes me all kinds of autumn happy!


I am using the Cheerful Hedgehogs and Happy Fall stamp sets from Gerda Steiner Designs and doing some no-line watercoloring for the sweet little hedgehog.  I always start by stamping my image in Antique Linen Distress Ink because it is light enough that it fades as you watercolor but dark enough to allow me to see where I need to color.  


Once my little cutie was colored I created an ink smoothed background to simulate a giant pile of fall leaves flying everywhere while this hedgie plays in the big leaf pile.  I found the perfect fall Distress Inks with Aged Mahogany, Rusty Hinge and Fossilized Amber.  So pretty!


Finally, I broke out the Copper Perfect Pearls to add some shimmer and shine.  I had so much fun creating this card!  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!  Bye!
