Happy Butterfly Card

Hi everyone :-D

Today I want to share with you this Happy Butterfly Card. 

For my card layout I used beautiful sketch 191 from Sweet Sunday Sketch.

I used gorgeous Sizix 'Flights of Fancy' digital paper,  I got for free as a subscriber to a newsletter, and lovely  2 Cute Ink digital stamp 'Butterfly Doodle' I got for free this month, as a subscriber to a 2 Cute Ink newsletter. 

Image is paper pieced. 
I printed two images on a white cardstock paper and one on a white paper (160 grams). I colored pieces I needed with my colored pencils, fussy cut pieces, colored edges with black permanent pen and glued all pieces together. I added a bit of transparent varnish on a bow to create glossy accents.
Here is a photo of all pieces I used.

At the end I embellished the card with faux enamel dots from paper. This was something I was experimenting with last night and it came out pretty good. :-D

Here is how I made my faux enamel dots from paper (step by step tutorial):
I punched out circles from design paper leftovers. 
I placed paper circles on baking paper. 
I covered circles with thick coat of glossy transparent varnish to create dimension. 
I left them dry over night.

Card dimensions are 105 mm x 148 mm (4 1/8" x 5 7/8").

List of supplies:

• 2 Cute Ink digital stamp 'Butterfly Doodle' 
• Sizix 'Flights of Fancy', spots, green, green swirls-lines (free for newsletter subscribers) 
• white cardstock paper
• white paper (160 grams)
• colored pencil (light green)
• Kooh-i-noor woodless colored pencils (Titanium White 3, Dark Green 5)
• Koh-i-noor universal white pencil for writing on gloss surfaces
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen M (medium) 1.0 mm
• transparent varnish with extra gloss  
• Pritt universal glue
• white water based glue 
• printer
• scoring board
• trimmer
• scissors
• compass tool
• MSC Edger Punch, Scallop Dot
• office paper puncher

4) As You Like It Challenge, Favourite Type of Stamp - Digi or Rubber (and Why)? 
I love both, digital and rubber stamps. As a relatively new stamper and being unemployed long long time, I don´t have a lot of rubber stamps. With a really low monthly budget I can spend on crafting supplies (sometimes none), and enormously high price of rubber stamps here in my country (buuu), I prefer digital stamps. Also, digital stamps can be resized and rotated, so I have much more possibilities than with rubber stamps. :-D

Welcome Baby Card

Hi everyone :-D

Today I want to share with you Welcome Baby Card.

I used 2cute Ink 'Baby Panda' in a basket. Super cute image!! :-D 

 

I printed the image on a piece of white cardstock paper and colored it with different medias. 

Yellow parts are colored in watercoloring technique, using Tim Holtz´s Distress Ink Mustard Seed, water and brush. 
Milk in the bottle is colored with Pastel White pearl maker. 
Basket, panda´s ears and bunny are colored with blue colored pencils. 
Panda´s muzzle and ears are colored with black permanent marker, as well as bunny´s muzzle. 
Panda is shaded with grey colored pencil. 
After I colored everything, I covered panda´s muzzle, bottle, stars, moons and circles on the basket and bunny´s paws with glossy transparent varnish, to create glossy accents. 
After the varnish was dry, I fussy cut the image and colored edges with black permanent pen. 

Then I wrote a sentiment on my computer, using beautiful 'A Little Pot' free font from Kevin & Amanda Free Scrapbook Fonts and printed it on a white card base. 

I love dimension on my cards! I don´t have any dimensional foam in my stash (must order these), so I used pieces of felt I had in my stash. I glued pieces of felt behind the image, instead of dimensional foam, and placed (glued) image to the card base. 

At the end, I decorated card with four little stars I made, just to add more interest to the card. 
Using my computer, I cut the star from original image and printed in 4 different sizes. I colored them in watercoloring technique, using Tim Holtz´s Distress Ink Mustard Seed, water and brush. I fussy cut them, colored edges with black permanent pen and covered them with glossy transparent varnish.

Card dimensions are 105 mm x 149 mm (4 1/8" x 5 7/8").

List of supplies:

• 2Cute Ink 'Baby Panda'
• 'A Little Pot' free font from Kevin&Amanda (freebie)
• white cardstock paper 
• grey colored pencil
• Koh-i-noor Mondeluz aquarell colored pencils (Titanium White 3, Light Blue 18, Dark Blue 19) 
• Tim Holtz´s Distress Ink (Mustard Seed)
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen S (superfine) 0.4 mm
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen M (medium) 1.0 mm
• white water based glue 
• Pritt universal glue
• transparent varnish with extra gloss

Unconditional Love Card (KBD Aloha Friday Challenge #40)

Hi everyone :-D 

My second post today...

Today a new Aloha Friday Challenge starts at Kitty Bee Designs.

New challenge for this fortnight is #40 - Valentines/Love.

Our sponsor for this challenge is 2Cute Ink, with an awesome prize for our random winner: 2 digital images.

This is my first appearance as a Design Team Member at Kitty Bee Designs and for this challenge I made this Unconditional Love Card, using our sponsor´s super cute image 'Best Fins'. I made this card for my mom. :-D

This is a CAS (clean and simple) card with paper pieced image (it has only two layers). 
I printed one image on 160 grams white paper and colored it in watercoloring technique using my aquarell colored pencils, paint brush and water. After the image was dry, I fussy cut it, colored edges with black fine liner and glued it over another image printed on blue cardstock layer. I colored bubbles and hearts also in watercoloring technique. After everything was dry, I glued blue layer on to the card base and added transparent varnish to the image (bubbles, hearts, mouths) to create glossy accents and pop up those details.

Card dimensions are 139 mm x 95 mm (5 1/2" x 3 3/4").

List of supplies:

• 2Cute Ink 'Best Fins' 
• white cardstock paper 
• blue cardstock paper
• white paper (160 grams)  
• Koh-i-noor Mondeluz aquarell colored pencils (Yellow 3, Orange 5, Light Blue 18, Dark Blue 19) 
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen S (superfine) 0.4 mm
• white water based glue 
• UHU universal glue
• transparent varnish with extra gloss
• printer
• scoring board
• trimmer

• Marabu fine paint brush no.2
