Sorry to hear you're under the weather - Larissa

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is my turn again to post something on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I have made a tag with the Under the weather clear stamp set from Gerda Steiner designs. I have stamped the mouse on watercolour paper and then I embossed it with clear embossingpowder. Then I have coloured the image with Distress inks. I have been practising colouring with these inks very much lately and now I have a big pile of coloured images. I really need to make cards with them soon. ;) Then I have fussy cut the image.

I have die-cut a tag from white cardstock with the Stencil SL 277 from Studio light. I have die-cut the top part of the tag from pink paper from the Classic gingham paperpack from Sunny studio and glued it on the tag. With a black fineliner I doodled lines on the tag. On the white part of the tag I have made rain with the Rainy day stencil from Clearly besotted and Peacock feathers Distress ink. I glued the image with foamtape on the tag. I have stamped a sentiment from the Under the weather clear stamp set from Gerda Steiner designs on the tag.

Umbrella Mouse

Hi Everyone, Melissa here.

For today's inspiration I have used the 'Umbrella Mouse' Digital Stamp.

How I made the card:

• Print 'Umbrella Mouse' image onto Copic X-Press It Blending Card.  Colour with Copic Markers.  Fussy cut around the image leaving a small white border.  Set aside.
• Base card: 10x14cm water colour card.  Colour with distress oxides and spray with Sparkle spray.  Set aside to dry.
• Thread 10 strands of beads.  I used 9 beads on each strand.
• Cut the cloud border from a piece of white card and set aside.
• Cut the grass border from a piece of white card.  Colour with green ink and set aside.
• One the base card, put a piece of thin foam tape at the top and bottom.  Put some powder down the side of the tape.  Just so the beads don't stick.
• Take the protective layer off the tape and adhere the stranded beads to the card securing them into the foam at the top and bottom. Leave about 1cm between each strand.  Place another piece of thin foam over the top to secure the thread.
• Adhere clouds and grass to base card.  These will hide foam tape at the top and bottom of the card.
• Adhere image to base card using foam tape.

I hope you have a great day
