Ice skating mouse (digital stamp) - Larissa

 

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is my turn again to post a card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs and this time I have made a card with the digital stamp Ice skating mouse from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils, the black glaze pen and a white gelpen. I have coloured the heart on the sweater with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen and then I have applied Glossy accents on the heart and the nose from the mouse. I have fussy cut the image.

On a white card I have used washi tape to cover the edges of the card. Then I have drawn a background for my image with a pencil on the card. When I was satisfied how it turned out, I used a black fineliner to draw over the pencil lines and then I erased all the pencil lines. I have coloured the background with my Polychromos pencils. On the trees I applies snow with Fluffy stuff from Cosmic shimmer. I used a white gelpen to draw some more snow in the scene. I have coloured the ice with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen. I am not totally satisfied, but for a first try it is ok and I will practice some more on it. I did enjoy making my own background. :) I have glued the image with foamtape on the card. I have stamped a sentiment from the set Wintertime clear stamp from CC. Designs on the card.

Grateful Skating Mice Card by Karla

Hello friends! Karla back today with a sweet fall/winter card using the adorable Ice Skating Mouse digital stamp from the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop. I just love the sweet sweater, scarf and hat on this guy, and even though I used pretty fall papers and embellishments, you could totally do this card in a holiday theme with either winter colours or full on Christmas!

The fun thing about digital stamps is how easily they can be manipulated. I added two images to Word on my PC, sized them to the desired size by dragging, and then simply clicked on one to flip it horizontally. Voila, 2 mice skating together!! I used the papers from the November SCT Sampler Pack as my inspiration to colour in the accessories on each of these cuties with Copic Markers.

I stitched some embroidery floss through the tiny holes on the diecut oval and used a black pen to hand draw in the ice - adding some coloured pencil and some shiny Stickles to the background. A bit of Glossy Accents on the hearts and pompoms add a little dimension along with the sequins and enamel dots.

I added a stamp from my stash and thought I would give this out as a thank you card, but it would also be lovely as a Thanksgiving card!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop to see what fun goodies you can find. If you will be celebrating Thanksgiving today, I hope you have a wonderful holiday and many things to be grateful for. (PS the store is closed until Dec 1st for Thanksgiving Break, but you'll be able to shop after that - and meanwhile be sure to check all the fabulous inspiration on the blog and FB page!)

Hugs,

Karla

Skating Mice Pair

Hello everyone!  Allison Cope here! It’s snowy and rather white here in Southern Alberta today so I thought I’d create a pretty winter scene to put some cute critters on.

Today I’m working with the sweet “Ice Skating Mouse” digital image.  I have printed out my images on to Strathmore 400 Series Cold Press Watercolor paper to use my ZIG Clean Color Markers with today.

Grab a warm cuppa your favorite drink and join me at my crafty desk…

Now check out my final card with it’s sentiment on it!

Thanks for joining me today!  I’d love to hear what you think about my card today!

Happy stamping!

Skating By with a Holiday HI!

Howdy all!  Happy Thursday!  I'm Allison Cope and today I’m sharing a rather chilly creation.

My card today features the new digital stamp, “Ice Skating Mouse”.  This is an adorable little mouse adorned with a sweet little hat, warm mitts and a fuzzy winter sweater all decked out in his skates.

I chose to color him using Copic Markers and then add some finer details with Polychromos Pencils.

To create the reflection, I just duplicated my image, flipped it on the horizontal plane and squished it in my photo editing software.

I did have a full video filmed for you but I’ve I can’t seem to get my camera to talk to my computer today so maybe next time I’ll have a video tutorial for you all.

Make sure you check out the Digital Stamp Area in the Gerda Steiner Designs store regularly.  Gerda is always added new images to create with!  PLUS, the digital stamp area is now even easier to search!  You can search for stamps that are birthday, Winter, Spring and Summer themed now much easier.

I hope my card inspires you to get out there and create!  See you again next time!
