Guest Designer Pri - Cards For Dad & Brother Using Pool Piggies Stamp Set

Hello..Pri here today and I am sharing two male cards today using the newly released and super cute Pool Piggies stamp set...the main image in both my cards is the same but I have used them in very different settings...

My first card shows dad laying on a mat and reading a book...enjoying the summer and the sun and catching up on his reading probably...

I started with a plain white card base and cut the top layer to size using a Neenah speckled cardstock called stardust white...I then die cut a bright green cardstock using hillside border die as well as a couple of meadow borders using two different shades of green and adhered  then to the top layer...

Then using a cloud stencil and some blue ink,I sponged in lightly to create the cloudy sky...I stamped the sentiment using blue ink and then ran the whole top layer through my Cuttlebug using a large stitched rectangle die..

On a separate piece of cardstock,I stamped and coloured in the mat and daddy pig and cut them out before placing them on the card front...

To embellish my card I simply added a few silver star sequins...

The second card I have made is for the best brother in the world...and I repeat stamped the life-ring/lifebuoy to create the background for it...

I chose a light blue card base for this card and a watercolour cardstock for the top layer...I used Versamark ink to stamp the images and heat embossed them using white embossing powder...

First I covered the larger sections with blue watercolour and then coloured in the life-rings using watercolour pens and a water brush...once the top layer was completely dry,I adhered it to the card front...

I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock using purple dye ink and die cut it and then adhered some craft foam behind it before placing it on the card...

Finally using some more craft foam I added the stamped and coloured in images of the life-ring and brother piggy...

Hello friends...Pri again from Me And My Daily Papercraft guest designing for Gerda Steiner Designs....I am sharing another card that I have made using the latest stamp set called You're Koalafied...It also has a coordinating die set...

I chose a lavender coloured textured cardstock for the card base and purple foil cardstock for the mat layer...the top layer has been die cut from white cardstock using Avery Elle double pierced rectangle dies...

Using distress inks and a craft stencil with leaves on it,I printed the pattern onto the top layer...I have used Bundles Sage and Mowed Lawn for this...I stamped a few hearts using red ink as well as the main sentiment using Purple ink...

On a separate piece of cardstock,I stamped the cute Koala image and coloured it in using the following Spectrum Noir markers - GG1 IG5 & BG5...I applied some glossy accents after cutting out the image and once dry,I placed it on the card...

Hello and welcome...this is Pri from Me And My Daily Papercraft guest designing for Gerda Steiner Designs today....I am sharing two cards today that I have made using the latest stamp set called You're Koalafied...It also has a coordinating die set...

For my first card today I have used a plain white card base and the top layer has been cut to size using Ranger watercolor paper...using Versamark black ink,I stamped the images and then coloured them in using Spectrum Noir Markers -TN2 TN3 DG2 DG3 GG1 BG5 & IG5

The thought bubble has been drawn by hand using a black Copic Multiliner and I have sponged in a bit of Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean distress inks on the edges...

To embellish this card I have used clear star sequins and placed them inside the thought bubble...

For my second card I have used a coloured cardstock for the card base - this one is called Galaxy Gold(Astro Brights by Neenah)...I have then used a corner rounder to round all the edges of the card base...the top layer has been cut to size using Ranger watercolor paper and I have rounded the edges of this as well...

Then using Versamark black ink I stamped the two images onto the top layer as well as the sentiment and the little hearts....I have used the following Spectrum Noir markers to colour in the images -TN2 TN3 DG2 DG3 GG1 BG5 & IG5...

To create the thought bubble I have simply used a Copic black Multiliner to draw...and finally I have used Salty Ocean distress ink to add a bit of shading on the edges of the top layer...
