Snow Much Fun Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)


Hi everyone :o)

My second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow the direct link here.


Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Snow Much Fun Circle Card.


For this one I used Jane's Doodles 'Winter Wishes' stamp set.

Image is paper pieced. I stamped one bear image on a white paper (160 grams), colored his muzzle and ears with fine black permanent pen, shaded him with light gray color I got mixing a lot of water and Black Soot Distress Ink, fussy cut it and colored edges with black permanent pen.

I stamped two more images: sweater and collar. I stamped them on a sweater pattern designer paper. I shaded edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink, fussy cut pieces I needed, colored edges with black permanent pen and glued all pieces together.

Then I cut out two circles from a white cardstock paper, diameter size 4", for a card base. I cut out one more circle from designer paper and two from cardstock paper, all diameter size 3 7/8".

I glued designer paper circle on the card base and shapes I cut out from white circles.

Then I Heat Embossed a sentiment ('much fun') and wood chip 'Snow', glued wood chip on the card, drew white faux stitches, added 3-D foam pads behind the polar bear and placed it on the card, glued few sequins and my card was finished. :o)


Card dimension d = 101 mm (4").

Chinese New Year Panda Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.com/

Hi everyone :o)

Today it´s my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this Chinese New Year Panda Card.


I used super cute image 'Chinese New Year Panda' from 2013 January Panda Releases . The sentiment are Chinese symbols and say: Live Laugh Love.

Details about my card...

I printed the image on a white cardstock paper. I draw circles around panda's eyes, colored the image with colored pencils, fussy cut the image leaving white border around it and added gloss resin to panda's muzzle and lampion, to add dimension to the image and to create glossy accents.

While the image was drying, I made a panel and a stripe with symbols (sentiment).

For the strip I used Bugaboo Stamps 'Chinese Live Love Laugh Symbols'. I removed circles and translation of symbols, inserted them into a MS Word document and printed on a stripe of watercoloring paper. 

Then I made a panel. I colored the panel in Ink smooshing technique. I love this technique!!! :o) I used Stabilo markers, plastic pocket bag, water and bottle sprayer. I added some color on plastic pocket bag, sprayed it with water and smooshed color on the panel. I was adding color by color, couple of layers, drying them between.

When I was satisfied with colors and pattern, I glued the stripe and ink smooshed panel on a white cardstock card base, glued 3-D foams behind the panda image and placed it on the card.


Card dimensions are 100 mm x 132 mm (4" x 5 1/4").

List of supplies:
  • Kitty Bee Designs 'Chinese New Year Panda' from 2013 January Panda Releases
  • Bugaboo Stamps 'Chinese Live Love Laugh Symbols'
  • white cardstock paper
  • Koh-i-noor Watercolor paper (250 gms)
  • white watercoloring paper 
  • colored pencils (3 shades of red)
  • Stabilo Pens 68
    • Yellow 44
    • Orange 54 
    • Red 48
    • Black 46
  • Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen S (superfine) 0.4 mm
  • UHU universal glue 
  • 3-D foam self adhesive pads  
  • gloss resin super-clear 
  • printer
  • scoring board
  • trimmer 
  • scissors
  • tweezers
  • sprayer bottle
  • plastic pocket bag
  • tweezers
  • Ranger Heat It Craft Tool
