Cheers Card (Jane's Dodles DT August Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my fifth and last post today. If you missed previous posts, just scroll down or follow direct links here, here, here and here. :o)

This weekend I'm sharing my Jane's Doodles spotlight projects that I made in June, July, August and September, but I didn't share them here on my blog yet. Three days ago I shared full list of projects that I'll be sharing (here).

Today I'm sharing four cards, my August spotlights. I'll share them all in separate blog posts, which are scheduled and will go live every hour.

My fourth and last card for today is this one layer, Cheers Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Thursday, August 27th, 2020. :o)

To make my card I used beautiful stamps from Jane's Doodles 'Happy Hour' stamp set.

How I made my card ....

I stamped a cocktail glass directly on a white top folded card base. Then I masked the cocktail glass. I used a post-it paper to make a mask.

I stamped a sentiment 'Cheers' in the background using two colors and 2nd generation stamping technique. I used a Ranger's Archival Ink, Jet Black and a Tim's Holtz Distress Ink Hickory Smoke.

When I finished with stamping, I removed the mask and colored the cocktail glass with Caran D'Ache Prismalo Aquarelle colored pencils.

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Stinkin' Fabulous Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hello everyone! :o)

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

I made this card for my dear niece Vanesa, my cousin's daughter, who turned 17 yesterday.

To make this card I used stamps from super cute Jane's Doodles 'Stinks!' stamp set and coordinating Jane's Doodles 'Stinks' dies set.

 

I stamped a skunk on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Ink Black Soot. After drying, I fussy cut the skunk and traced edges with black marker.

I stamped another skunk on a white cardstock paper and using coordinating die from the set and Sizzix Big Shot, cut the skunk. I colored the skunk in black.

Then I glued together two skunks, watercolored one and die cut (black) one. I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin.

Next up was a background. I lined up sentiment stamps on an acrylic block and stamped the sentiment over whole white cardstock paper panel. I used a grid on a Xcut self healing working mat to stamp straight.

With all pieces ready, I assembled the card. I trimmed the panel a bit and glued it on a white top folded card base. I glued a vellum paper rectangle on the panel to tone down the background a bit. I glued 3-D foam squares on the skunk and placed the skunk on the vellum. As a finishing touch, I drew highlights on the skunk and embellished the card with violet enamel hearts. :o)

Card dimensions: 89 mm x 120 mm (3 1/2" x 4 3/4")

List of supplies :

• Jane's Doodles 'Stinks!' stamp set 
• Jane's Doodles 'Stinks' dies
• white cardstock paper
• watercolor paper
• vellum paper
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Tim's Holtz Distress Ink Black Soot
• Stabilo Fibre Tip Pen (Marker), Black 68/46
• Uniball Signo White
• 3-D foam squares, 5 mm x 5 mm x 2 mm
• UHU universal glue
• Create a Smile enamel dots 'Frosty Fun'
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer

Birthday Card for my Mom ♥ (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 CAS (clean and simple) Birthday Card for my Mom who's birthday is today. :o)

♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! ♥

To create this card I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Mother's Day and Bloom. 

 

These two sets were perfect to create a card for my Mom. I used word MAMA, which is Croatian word for Mother, and gorgeous roses, because they are my Mom's favorite flowers and her name is Ruža, which is Croatian word for Rose. :o)

I made a background on a white cardstock paper panel. I went with watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. This is not anything new in a stamping world, but I'm starting to explore it and I love it. 

I glued a foam sheet on the back of the panel and glued it on a white top folded card base.

I stamped roses and leaves on a white watercolor paper and colored them in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. My mom's favorite color is violet, so my choice was obvious. :o)

After coloring, I fussy cut all images, traced edges with black marker and glued them on the card, leaving petals unglued, to add some dimension to my card. To add even more dimension, I used some foam tape to pop up the rose on top.

Card dimensions: 89 mm x 120 mm (3 1/2" x 4 3/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Mother's Day' stamp set
• Jane's Doodles 'Bloom' stamp set 
• white cardstock paper
• white watercolor paper
• Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:
• Wilted Violet
• Twisted Citron
• Cracked Pistachio
• Lucky Clover
• Stabilo Black fibre-tip pen 68/46
• UHU universal glue
