Tiger Lilies Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

On Tuesday, May 15th, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Tiger Lilies Card. :o)

This card is a CASE of a card I made for my mom and shared it two weeks ago (find it here). I went with same design, layout and used same stamps, but went with different color scheme and used different techniques and mediums for coloring. :o)

Mom of a lovely young lady, for whom I created this card, loves orange color. I immediately knew I should go with Tiger Lilies. Gorgeous flower! :o)


How I made the card...

For my card I used stamps from two GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Lily and Mother's Day.

 

With some masking, I stamped lilies directly on a white top folded card base.

I colored lilies with various coloring mediums. First I blended Distress Ink. I used negative part of masks to protect white background and ink blended lilies. I splattered lilies with water, dried them and repeated the process one more time.

I removed masks, added extra shades on lilies and colored green parts with colored pencils and fine liners. Dimension was missing, so I colored shades using grey colored pencil.

Then I heat embossed in black word ‘Mama’, which is Croatian for mom.

Lastly, I drew brown dots on lilies using fine liner and added some white highlights with white gel pen and the card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions: 95 mm x  133 mm (3 3/4" x 5 1/4")

Peeking Bunny Card

Hi everyone :-D  

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I am. :-D

I want to share with you a card I made today. It´s Peeking Bunny Card.

For my card layout I used a sketch100 with a twist from I {heart} sketches by Imke Ludvig. I changed circle to rectangular shape. Twist was to make CAS (clean and simple) card, which I did, because I am in a CAS mood these days. :-D

Card dimensions are 98 mm x 143 mm (3 7/8" x 5 5/8").

I used one of the 3 image blocks from From the Heart Stamp 'Easter Trio' digital stamp set.

This is Stamp of the Month March 2015 and I got mine for playing February From the Heart Stamps Stamp of the Month challenge. FTHS SOTM is a progressive challenge. Faith, illustrator and owner, generously gives a digital stamp of the month to everyone who joined previous challenge.

I cropped the image on my computer. I printed bunny on a white paper (160 grams), colored him with colored pencils, fussy cut the frame, colored edges with black permanent marker and glued it on a pink piece of cardstock. I added some glossy varnish on bunny´s eyes and muzzle to create glossy accents.

Beautiful pink paper I used is Sizix 'Flights of Fancy' digital paper I got for free as a subscriber to a newsletter. I printed these on a white cardstock paper.

List of supplies:

• From the Heart Stamps 'Easter Trio'
• Sizix 'Flights of Fancy', spots, pink (free for newsletter subscribers)   
• white cardstock paper
• white paper (160 grams) 
• colored pencils (white, pink, grey)
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen M (medium) 1.0 mm
• transparent button 
• white crochet yarn 
• Pritt universal glue
• transparent varnish with extra gloss
• printer
• scoring board
• trimmer
• scissors
• crafting needle

I like this sketch a lot! I think I am going to make more cards using this sketch and other blocks from the image. :-D

Baby Fairy Ladybug Card

Happy Friday everyone :-D

It´s time for new challenge at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog.

Theme for this fortnight is #109, Feen + Prinzessinen / Fairy +Princess.

This time our lucky winner will win a lovely silicone mold from our dear sponsor WOW Embossing Powders. 

Baby Fairy Ladybug Card is my project for this challenge, sixth project as a Guest Designer at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog. 
 

I called it Baby Fairy Ladybug Card as a lovely Mo´s Manning digital stamp 'Baby Fairy Ladybug' I used. This is my new stamp I bought few days ago.
I colored image with colored and aquarell colored pencils and red fine liner. I made shade beneath fairy with black colored pencil dust. I added some transparent varnish on her dots and antenna, as well on her wings. I also sprinkled red fine glitter on her wings. 

Little glossy dots in corners are made with hole punchers and transparent extra glossy varnish. This is a great way to embellish card when you don´t have enamel dots or something similar.  
Here is a short step by step tutorial:

1. choose the color of bottom layer; this will be the color of glossy dots
   
   
2. punch holes (or any other shape) on upper layer 
   
3. glue upper layer on the bottom layer 
   
4. fill punched holes with transparent varnish or similar medium and leave it to dry
   
    
   

Every glossy dot can be different color. Place small piece of scrap paper below upper layer and fill holes with transparent varnish or similar medium. Here you can see how I did glossy dots in different colors.

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

List of supplies: 

• Mo´s Manning digital stamp 'Baby Fairy Ladybug'
• Crafters Companion Bebunni Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper Pad
• Graphic 45 paper collection 'French Country', 6 x 6 (Patterns and Solids)
  
• white cardstock paper
• red textured cardstock paper 
• black cardstock paper  
• white paper (160 grams) 
• colored pencils (skin color, pink, brown)
• white pencil
• Koh-i-noor Mondeluz aquarell colored pencil (red 7, brown 32, black 36)
• Koh-i-noor universal white pencil for writing on gloss surfaces
• red fine liner 
• red fine glitter
• double sided strong adhesive tape 
• UHU universal glue 
• transparent varnish with extra gloss 
• printer 
• scoring board 
• trimmer 
• scissors 
• hole punchers (3 sizes)
• hammer
