This is not a goodbye!!

Good afternoon!!

It's Yolanda here from Scraping Time!!!

Definitely, time flies!!! It´s a year since I started colaborating with Gerda Steiner Designs as a Design Team Member. When she offered me the opportunity to be part of her team during these months I thought it was so exciting and now that it has finished, I can say it was!!

And that feeling of being dreaming in the clouds is what I would like to transmit with my last card for her.


For this card I did a bit of masking... and it worthed since I love these cute umbrellas from the new "Cheerful Hedgehog" stamp set.
And of course, I couldn't finish it without a lot of Wink of Stella Clear.


Gerda's stamps are just amazing. It´s very easy to make wonderful and cute cards with them and today I would like to share the cards I have made during these months. I hope you enjoy the journey!!

I would like to say many thanks to Gerda for everything and what can I say to you: thanks a lot for being there during these months! I am so grateful!!!































Thanks, thanks a lot for have been there during this year!!! And see you soon on the web!! ;) Hugs from Spain!!

Upside Down Flamingo

Hi there,

it's Tanja here and I would like to show you this fun flamingo card using a new Digital Stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs:

  • create a background on a stitched square panel of watercolor paper using Distress Markers and the Distress Marker Spritzer
  • color the Gerda Steiner Designs Different Perspective Flamingo with the same pink markers and a watercolor brush
  • add Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay to the feathery parts and Glossy Accents to the beak
  • stamp a custom-made sentiment using the Stampendous Tiny Alpha stamp set and Versafine (Smokey Gray)
  • mat the anel onto pink cardstock before adhering it to a cardbase
  • add some Create a Smile enamel stickers as final embellishments

I hope you got inspired.

Yours,

Hope you're having fun!

Hello everyone!
I'm Anna (al_handmade) and I'm back with another card featuring a funny cute critter from the “Cheerful Hedghog” stamp set. I must say that I really love this new set from Gerda Steiner Designs as much as I love autumn and all its vibrant colors :)



For this card I wanted to create an autumnal scenario as a perfect frame for my little joyful friend.
To create the background I stamped some leaves with Memento Ink Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copic Markers. Then I cut three stripes from a white card panel and masked my foliage background with it. I also added a piece vellum between them to create a smoother effect.



I colored the hedgehog with my Copics, trying to add a bit of texture representing his stiff hairs. When I assembled the elements together I realized that I wanted more "autumn" on my card so I decided to add some falling leaves on my background in order to make my scene more seasonal.

I chose a happy wish to complete this card but after stamping it with black ink I realized that it needed to be more lively. So I customized it a bit adding some colorful dimensions. Finally I grabbed my Wink of Stella Clear brush to make it shine :)



Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this project.
See you next time!
