GUEST DESIGN - FOXES BY ANA A

Hello crafty friends!

I am back today with my second guest design post and cannot be more excited and honored! In today's post I am using the most adorable Foxes stamp set from the new arrivals collection.

I've created a lot of projects with this stamp set and today I am sharing 2 that were my favorite :)

For the first card I created ink blended background with the bed of leaves on the bottom. 

The bed of leaves is actually the acorn wreath that comes in the set (you can see it in my second card) that was stamped, masked then colored with alcohol markers. 

I colored the images the same way and adhered them to the background panel with foam tape. I used kraft card base for this project to continue the fall color combination.

For the second card I cut the panel with stitched rectangle die then stamped the sentiments. To create leafy texture I used embossing folder.

Images were stamped, colored with alcohol markers then cut out and popped up with foam tape.

To embellish the project I used glossy drops.

I really hope you liked these cards and got inspired! 

Happy crafting :)

Turtley Awesome!

Hello!  It's Lisa Lahiff here again, and I am so very honored to be Guest Designing here with Gerda Steiner Designs!  I can never tell you enough just how much I LOVE the adorable critter stamps that can be found in the store, and the one I'm working with today (Turtley Great) is no different!

To create this card I started by stamping my turtle and sentiment with Versafine ink onto watercolor cardstock.  Next, I spritzed some colors onto a piece of plastic, I like to keep packaging from stamp sets specifically for this technique. I then laid my cardstock stamped side down onto the ink and smooshed it in.  I would let it dry before smooshing the colors again.  I still wanted my turtle to have some set green so once it was all dry I went over the turtle with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I then adhered my panel onto various strips of patterned paper and finished it with a few glitter enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope I've inspired you to maybe try a new technique or add coloring to your smooshing :).  And don't forget to check out the new sets coming to the store, I already have my eyes on the cute new ghosts!

Happy Crafting!
