Stay Cool and Catch a Wave this Summer!

 Greetings everyone! It's me again, Jessie Scott (@chevy.scott on IG) here to share a fun light up card with Gerda Steiner Designs products!

Today I have another fun collaboration with Pear Blossom Press products to share. This week I'm feeling super hot here in the desert and I'm wishing for the beach! Thanks to this little duckie, I was able to "Stay Cool" haha! Let's make this card with the Catch a Wave stamp set!

The background is made using a hand-made mask from printer paper that I cut to match the curves I wanted for this beach scene. 

 

I ink blended the bottom with Distress Ink Antique Linen and Tea Dye, spritzed with water and then splattered with some gold water color. The blue is Salvaged Patina blended into a lighter Tumbled Glass and then a yellow glow out from the sun with Mustard Seed. I splattered the sky with a blue shimmer watercolor from Kuretake Pearl Colors set. Love how bright this blend looks! I want to go to this beach haha!

Here's an ink blending video:

Images were colored with my Olo Markers.  I'm still in love with them! 

Here's a coloring video:

For the sentiment to fit in the sun I CUT IT! (I know! I know!) That's the beauty of stamps though! You can always mount it back to a block just the way it was. Don't be afraid.

For the rest of the card details and how to make this sun LIGHT UP, venture over to the companion post on my blog today!

Here's the finished card!  I also have a full process video on my blog.

 

 

See you again soon!

Holiday friends - Thinking of you this Christmas - Larissa

 

Hello, Today it is my turn again to post a card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I have made a christmas card with the clear stamp set Holiday friends from Gerda Steiner designs. I have stamped the santa on a separate piece of paper and I have stamped the trees with the help of masking paper on the card. Then I have coloured all the images with my Polychromos pencils. 

I have fussy cut the Santa image, but there are dies available for the Holiday friends set if you prefer those. I have coloured the sky with Tumbled glass distress ink and glued Santa with foamtape on the card. I have made the snow on the card with a white gelpen. Then I have stamped a sentiment from the set Holiday friends from Gerda Steiner designs on the card.

Make a Wish

 
Hello, Margreet here.
I made this card with Make a Wish Mouse Blowing out Birthday Cake Candle for Gerda Steiner Designs.

The base card has a square passepartout.

I embossed the cardstock before using distress inks Fossilized Amber, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers. 

The mouse and cake are colored with copics and fussy cut.

The word Happy is stamped with Versamark and then I put Distress embossing glaze Kitsch Flamingo on it and heatembossed. Unfortunately this turned out black, but hey, that's beautiful too.

With Versamark I stamped BDAY on a leftover of the cardstock and heatembossed again with Distress embossing glaze Kitsch Flamingo. 

I rounded the corners of the card and the leftover and inked the edges with Picked Raspberry.

I used some sequins to finish the card.

I hope you like it. It was fun making this card.
xxx Margreet
