Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Happy Friday! :o)

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

Wild

Wild Flowers

Both are GORGEOUS!! Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)


And here is what I prepared for today: CAS (clean and simple), Birthday Hippo Card using stamps from the 'Wild' stamp set. :o)

How I made my card....

I stamped a hippo on a watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique, using a Distress Ink Hickory Smoke. After coloring and drying, I fussy cut the hippo, traced edges with a black marker and softened the hippo using a stylus ball on a soft working mat. This curled the image a bit.

I stamped another hippo on a white cardstock paper scrap, fussy cut him, leaving a thin white border around him, colored him with a grey marker and glued the watercolored hippo over him. I did this because watercolor paper I use is thin and I needed thicker image.

Then I worked on a frame. I glued together three frames, each in different paper color. I made these using a Polaroid frame die cut and a paper trimmer. First I die cut three Polaroid frames and then cut the bottom part of each to get a nice rectangle frame. :o)

I glued together frames, forming an interesting shape, and then glued the frame on a white top folded card base. I masked the area around the frame and stamped leaves inside the frame, directly on the card base.

Then I die cut a speech bubble from a black cardstock paper and heat embossed a sentiment in white on it.

I glued 3-D foam squares on the image and speech bubble and glued them on the card.

As a finishing touch I drew white highlights on the hippo using a white pigment ink pen and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Pink Flamingo Birthday 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 Pink Flamingo Birthday Card. :o)

I made this card for my cousin Snežana, who's birthday is tomorrow. :o)

To make this card I used stamps from a brand new, GORGEOUS 'Tropical Fun' stamp set and sentiment from 'All Occasions' stamp set . I made my own background using three tiny heart die cuts from 'Stinks' dies set.

    

How I made this card...

I stamped a flamingo on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the flamingo and traced edges with black marker. I softened the flamingo on a soft working mat using stylus ball.

I stamped another flamingo on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut the flamingo leaving thin white border around it. I colored the flamingo in black.

Then I glued together two flamingos, watercolored one and 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 randomly die cut tiny hearts on a white cardstock paper panel. I used only the panel and left die cut hearts for another project.

Lastly, I heat embossed in white on a black cardstock paper a sentiment 'Birthday Wishes' and cut the stripe to a desirable size.

With all pieces ready, I assembled the card. I glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the panel and glued it on a white top folded card base. The panel and card base are same size.

Then I glued foam tape on the sentiment stripe and placed the sentiment on the card. Lastly, I glued more 3-D foam on the flamingo and glued it on the card.  I'm very satisfied with a result. :o)

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