Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

 

Hello everyone! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Today we are featuring two GORGEOUS stamp sets released into the store. :o) 

Happy Day

Iris

Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)

And here is what I prepared for today: Happy Birthday Card, using stamps from 'Happy Day' stamp set. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with my baby boy's Fran 1st Birthday Party theme: yellow and green balloons. :o) He was thrilled. :o) 

We had two parties, first on his actual birthday, March 9th, and second last Sunday, on 1 st day of Spring, when we both celebrated our birthdays with our family. Second party was in different color scheme. He was thrilled again. :o)

How I made this Card... 

I stamped an adorable mouse on a square thick mix media paper panel. With some masking, I stamped 21 balloon and a sentiment. Then I drew balloon strings, a frame and circles on the panel and my scene was ready to be colored. :o)

My first intention was to watercolor images, but I changed my mind and colored everything with colored pencils. I spent around 2 hours coloring. I like the result. :o)

Lastly, I glued the panel on a white top folded square card base and my card was finished. :o)

At the bottom of this post you can find detailed supply lists of my today's card. Link to this post will be in a right sidebar until the Blog Hop ends. :o)

Cute Cow Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this Cute Cow Card. :o)

For my card I used a super fun 'Kal-Bi Cow (Bee)' digital stamp digital image. So cute and fun!! :o) And there are more cute cow images in the store. :o)

I went with similar design as on my own card I made in January this year for KBD, Coffee Panda Card. :o)

I printed the cow on a watercolor paper and left the ink set through the night. Next day I colored the cow in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the cow, traced edges with black marker and softened parts with a stylus ball on a soft working mat.

The watercolor paper I use is too thin, so I printed one more sow on a white cardstock paper, colored the cow with black marker, fussy cut her leaving white border around her and glued colored cow over the black one (paper piecing). Thicker. :o)

Then I stamped a sentiment from Paper Smooches 'Chubby Chums' stamp set on a side folded white card base and drew frame with a black fine liner. I glued some 3-D foam on the back of the cow, glued her on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 82 mm x 127 mm (3 1/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Kitty Bee Designs 'Kal-Bi Cow (Bee)' digital stamp
• Paper Smooches 'Chubby Chums' stamp set (sentiment)
• white cardstock paper
• watercolor paper
• Ranger Archival Ink, Jet Black
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:
• Mustard Seed
• Spiced Marmalade

Coffee Panda Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my 600th blog post!! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this CAS (clean and simple), Coffee Panda Card. :o)

To make this card I used a super cute Kitty Bee Designs 'Coffee or Tea Please' digital image. :o)

I printed the panda twice, one on a white cardstock paper and second on a watercolor paper. I colored first one with black marker, fussy cut it and traced edges with a black marker.

I colored the panda printed on the watercolor paper in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. I colored a heart on a mug with a black fine liner, fussy cut the panda and traced edges with the black marker.

I glued two pandas together. The watercolor paper I use is very thin, so I had to do this to make the panda thicker, as I wanted to pop it up on my card.

Then I stamped a sentiment from Jane's Doodles 'Coffee Time' stamp set on a side folded white card base and drew frame with a black fine liner. I glued some 3-D foam on the panda and glued it on the card.

As a finishing touch I embellished the card with two enamel dots. :o)

I stamped a scene and sentiment directly on a Kraft cardstock card base and drew straight line frame with fine liner and ruler. I colored the scene with TOZ Artist Color colored pencils, blended colors with paper stumps and colored dino's claws with white gel pen.

As a finishing touch, I "drew lines" on plant leaves and covered dino's spots, tiny hearts and tiny frame squares with a clear gloss resin to create glossy accents.
