Umbrella mouse - Larissa

Hello, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today I am posting a card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. I have made a card with the digital stamp Umbrella mouse from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the mouse with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. With a white gelpen I have added dots on the scarf. I have fussy cut the mouse.

On a white card I added a strip of masking tape and then I made a floor for the image with Brushed corduroy and Gathered twigs Distress ink. With Broken china Distress ink I have added a sky for the image. In the sky I stamped a couple of raindrops from the set Chance of rain from Mama elephant with Broken china Distress ink. I glued the mouse with foamtape on the card. Next to the image I have stamped a sentiment from the set Chance of rain from Mama elephant.

Umbrella Mouse Get Well Card with Karla

Hello! Karla here today, and I'm sure happy to be back today to share this adorable new Umbrella Mouse digi from the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop. She is just too cute, and could easily be used for a happy spring card, a rainy day card, or in conjunction with a rainbow stamp or die, but I decided to create a get well card using an 'under the weather' stamp from my stash. I decided she needed some snazzy designs on her umbrella, jacket and scarf, so I decided to add some pretty paper piecing from a Paige Evans Pink Paislee paper pack, and I thought I'd share just how easy it is to do this!

I start out by printing my images out on white 65 lb cardstock using fast draft printing option. I find this lays down a bit less ink and I don't have any problem with bleeding. Next, I print a second exact copy of the same images, but this time on printer paper. I then use a glue stick to glue on the pattern paper designs, layering them over the parts of the image I'm going to want them to cover. You can see below I covered the umbrella, jacket and scarf.

Next, I run the same page through my printer again to print a third copy. It doesn't matter if the image doesn't line up exactly - you're only going to use the patterned paper, not the copy paper underneath.

Lastly, I colour in my image with Copics and then fussy cut the patterned paper pieces. You can see below the scarf is cut into 3 pieces and I'll glue them all on top of the main cardstock image. (I actually could have just cut it into 2 but I made a little mistake!) Then, I ran a black Tombow marker around the edge of each image so it would disguise the areas I didn't cut perfectly on the lines. You can also see I left part of the scarf on the jacket as I will glue the scarf over top of the jacket. 

I added a bit of shading around each edge of the images once I glued them on. I even used a black Smash pen to draw a puddle and then coloured that in with Copics. I stamped on a few raindrops and added some fun diecuts to the card front.

I grabbed a Tim Holtz Funky Floral die and diecut out some pretty flowers to layer on - because flowers always make everyone feel better!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs shop and see what adorable images start your creative juices flowing. Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Hugs,

Karla

Umbrella mouse - Larissa

Goodmorning, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today I am posting a card with a stamp from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I made a card with the digital stamp Umbrella mouse from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have fussy cut the image.

On a white card I glued a strip of orange design paper from the Country fair plaid paperpack from My favorite things (retired). On another piece of white cardstock I made a background with the help of the Rainy day stencil from Clearly besotted stamps and Tumbled glass and Broken china Distress oxide ink. I have die-cut a little hill from white cardstock with the Stitched basic edges from My favorite things. I have coloured the hill with Mowed lawn and Lucky clover Distress oxide ink. On the background I have stamped 2 sentiments from the stampset Hootie patootie from Lil inkers. With a black fineliner I doodled some lines on the background. I have glued the background with foamtape on the card and then I glued the image with foamtape on the card. Then I rounded the bottom corners of the card with the corner chomper.

 Hi, Margreet here.

I created a card with the sweet new digital stamp Umbrella Mouse from Gerda Steiner Designs. 

I started with distressing the design paper.
Then adhered it to a white cardstock card.

Printed and colored the cute image, and cut it out with a Crealies stitched circle die. 

The sentiment is computer generated and after printing I cut it out with a cloud die and mat it on a blue cardstock die cut.

The raindrops are made with a part of Creatables LR0572 from Marianne Designs.

Hope you like my card with this little mousey.
