Graffiti for you!!

Hi there!!

It's Yolanda here, from Scraping Time. As I told you in my last post, I made three cards with "Unicorns" stamps set that I will show you during these weeks. For this second try, (you can see the first one here) I decided to play a little bit with the funniest one hehehe or at least, it is for me!

The first time I saw him, I thought he was really angry but I looked at him again and I realised he was just shy!! That's why he wasn't able to tell his feelings to hir unicorn-girl and he decided to do a love graffiti on a wall!! Isn't it cute?? :))

He is trying to hide his brush before giving her that nice bunch of flowers.


I haven't got to tell you that I really love to tell stories with my cards although this is not based on a true story or who knows...

I have used a decorated paper for the wall and I stamped there the sentiment from the "Brush bunny" stamps set as well as the paint brush. The flowers from the Unicorn set are great to use with any critter. They are so delicated and pretty. I am sure that I will use them a lot for birthday cards or get well soon cards. I think they are proper for sympathy cards too.


I have fussy cut the unicorn and after colouring it with Spectrum Noir markers, I have put some Spectrum Noir Sparkle in some parts of the stamp. It is the first time I use it and I have to say it is very shiny and nice.


I hope you have enjoyed with my card and don´t forget Gerda Steiner Designs Instagram Giveaway!! (here) You are going to LOVE the prize: the two autumn new sets. I can tell you that they are ADORABLE!!  Good luck!!

Video: Playing with Patterned Paper featuring Playful Kittens

Happy happy Friday, all!  It's Tara from Curl E. Cue's and I, for one, am pretty stoked about the weekend happening tomorrow!  So to kick things off right, I am sharing this adorable card featuring the sweetest little kitty from the Playful Kittens stamp set!!  I just adore his little face and had to color him like my Egon (yes, he is named after Dr. Egon Spengler from the original Ghostbusters - we are just that cool).


I colored Egon in using Copic markers and then cut him out with a stitched rectangle die.  The bulk of this card is about using some really fun patterned papers in new ways.  Using a scalloped border die I created the vertical strip behind the focal piece and then muted the pattern with a velum overlay.  I used a bit of leftover paper of that same patter and cut out some of the hearts to add as accents on top of the velum.  For the sentiment on this card I used some of the little strips that come in the paper pad.  I am really bad about always ignoring the pages that have sentiments or little design squares that are meant to be cut out and used so I thought I'd give that a try.  It was just lucky that there was the perfect sentiment for my kitty!


I finished up the card with some sequins and added Glossy Accents to all of the cut out hearts to make them seem like enamel embellishments!  That way everything coordinates perfectly since it is all from the same paper pad!  The subtle gray paw prints in the background really tie everything in together!


Thank so much for joining me today!  I hope you enjoyed today's project and I'll see you again soon!  Bye!
