Summer Card II (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this CAS (clean and simple), one layer, Summer Card II.

I CASEd my Summer Card I made two weeks ago. CAS design, same color scheme, same sentiment and motifs on both cards, just this time, I went with one layer card, I rotated the layout, used stamps from different artist and didn't use embellishment. You can find CASEd card here.


How I made this card...

I made a circle stencil and use it to create Sun. I blended Distress Inks directly on a card base through stencil.

When I was satisfied with my sunset color, I removed the stencil and stamped sailboat from 'Ahoy!' stamp set on the card base. I colored the ship in black to get ship silhouette.

At the end I stamped a sentiment on the card. I did some masking on sentiments I used. The word 'sending' is from 'Simon' stamp set and word 'sunshine' from 'Rain or Shine' stamp set.

Card dimensions:  89 mm x 127 mm (3 1/2 " x 5")

Vellum Goodie Bag (Fairy Tale Challenge #115)

Happy Friday everyone :o)

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

The theme for this fortnight is #115, Verpackung für etwas süßes / Wrap something Sweet. 
You can make a box for something sweet, wrap something sweet, or put something sweet directly on your project. Whatever you like. :o)

Our sponsor for this challenge is Milk Coffee, with an awesome prize for our random winner: 3 digital images of the winner´s choice. 

For this challenge I made a Vellum Goodie Bag, using our sponsor´s gorgeous image 'Charlotte at Paper Ship'.

First I made a simple bag from a vellum paper and decorated it with white and yellow gingham stripes.

Then I printed the image on a white paper (160 grams) and colored it with colored pencils and blue fine liner. I used two different techniques for blending:

• hair, water and paper ship are blended with baby oil (I saw that in a video Colored Pencil Blending Methods by Dina Kowal a while ago.)
• yellow parts and skin are blended using two different colored pencils

To make scalloped circle, I used scalloped circle template from cardstock I have. I traced the template around the image, cut it out and erased pencil traces. 

I covered dots, flowers and butterfly on the image with a gloss resin gel, to create glossy accents and to pop up those parts of the image.

When the image was completely dry, I glued 3-D foams behind the image and placed it on the bag. I also glued punched butterflies on the bag.

Using my crafting needle and scoring board, I pierced top of the bag every 1/8", so I could sew through them. I filled the bag with Merci chocolate bars, sewed the bag and glued rubber flower on the right upper corner. 

Bag dimensions are 76 mm x 102 mm (3" x 4").
