Kindness Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Kindness Circle Card. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with my own card I made for our release blog hop (here).

I used stamps from two gorgeous Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Plumeria and Kind.

 

How I made my card....

I ink blended clouds through a cloud stencil I made by myself (how, I described here) on a white cardstock paper A5 size. After drying, I die cut a circle in the stenciled paper. I left rest of it for another project. :o)

For a card base, I die cut two more circles in the white cardstock paper and glued them together on top.

I stamped a sentiment on the cloud background circle panel and glued it on the card base.

I stamped images on a watercolor paper and loosely watercolored them using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut images and traced their edges with black marker. I softened images with a stylus ball on a soft working mat and glued them on the panel.

With images ready, I glued them on the card using 2 different thickness of square foams.

As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights  and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Birthday Hippo Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Birthday Hippo Card. :o)

I made this card for my friend Mirela who's birthday was yesterday. :o)

To make this card I used super adorable 'Valentine Hippo' freebie digital image from Goebie Design and a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment stamp from Lawn Fawn which I got for my last birthday from Lawn Fawn. :o)

How I made this card...

I made a layout on my computer and printed the image on a white cardstock paper panel.

Then I printed out 2 more images on a white carsdstock paper and 2 on a watercolor paper.

After couple hours of drying I colored pieces I needed in watercolor technique and other pieces with black marker. After drying, I fussy cut all pieces, except the one printed on the panel, traced edges with black marker and softened watercolored pieces on a soft working mat using stylus ball. I did this to add some dimension to my image.

Here is a photo of all pieces I used for paper piecing this adorable hippo.

With all pieces ready, I glued together pieces. I used liquid glue and 3-D foam to add even more dimension.

I stamped the sentiment on the panel, glued a patterned paper stripe on a white top folded card base and then the panel with the image.

As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights with a white pigment ink and my card was finished. :o)
