Festive Halloween ghosts!

 

Hi Gerda Steiner friends!

Kelly here and I am delighted to be a Guest Desiner for this month!

Today I'm showcasing the adorable Halloween Ghosts!

with 2 different styles of cards .... 

one whimsical and one traditional.

I've also used the metal die Boo!

First up, classic Halloween with the Trick 'o Treating ghosts!

The ghosts are colored with copics and I've created this scene using

designer paper as a backdrop.

Next up, a sweet little boy I know has a special celebration coming up

just at Halloween so I made this card in a comics, super power style.

I colored the ghost with copics and added the EEK sentiment

along with the BOO die to a watercolor background.

Here's another look:

I'll be back on the 24th with another fun card to share with you!

Happy Summer!

Hi there friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my second project of my guest design spot. 

 I LOVE this little guinea pig as much as he loves his watermelon. Now, I'm wondering if I am part guinea pig as I have been eating a whole lot of watermelon this summer. 
I stamped this little guy with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. The background pattern paper is from Craft Consortium called Tropical Paradise. 

I'll be back on September 18 with my next fun post.

Gerda Steiner Designs - Just Vrooming By

 

I'm back today with another cute critter design from Gerda Steiner Designs called Vrooming By!  This adorable pup on his scooter really makes me smile!  I'm imagining this little guy taking a fun summer ride and "vrooming" his way around town!

My clean and simple design started by stamping the image and sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne Pigment ink.  The image was then colored with Copic Markers.  I added the exhaust stamp from that I found in my stash.  They could be easily drawn as well.

The finished card size is 6 x 3.75 and was layered simply on a piece of black and white designer paper from my (very large) stash of papers.

Supplies used for this card:  Gerda Steiner Designs Vrooming By! 3x4 clear stamp set, X-Press It white card stock, Craft's Meow Vintage Ride (exhaust stamp), Copic Markers (E33, E35, E53, YR15, YR68, B24, B28), American Crafts Padma's Pattern designer paper.
