New WOW stamps

I designed two of the new WOW! stamps sets and made some samples to send for their retailer training day. I also got some FabFoil that I love so I experimented combining the stamps with foil and it looks so good! On this first card I foiled the Flight of Fancy feathers (or leaves, not sure what they are) and then I foiled a sentiment from Big Words on top. Reheating the foil makes it less shiny but gives it a cool brushed metal look. I added some shadowing using distress ink and details with a white gel pen. I really like how it looks!

For this card I dry embossed the background using an embossing folder. I Stamped and embossed the feathers (or leaves...) on Vellum and airbrushed the backside of them. I added some gold thread and the banner with the sentiment.

For my last card I stamped the feathers (or leaves) first in white pigment ink and then with some Hero Arts ink on top. I foiled a sentiment from Big Words on top, framed it with a die cut and embellished with sequins.

I love that FabFoil <3 The pink is super cute!

I hope you love the stamp as much as I do! I had so much fun playing with them.

Friendship card

Here's a very shimmery card I made for Design in Papers, using two sets of Lawn Fawn stamps. I think the sentiment isn't really grammatically correct but everyone gets the meaning, right? Well, i loved the pretty butterfly from the Flutter by set and needed a narrow kind of sentiment so I grabbed the chemistry of love set and made this. I used AquaTints for colouring, they are very vibrant and the metallic gold and silver are amazing. It's just packed with metallic goodness.

I added a layer of glossy accent on the butterfly (last thing before leaving the scrap room, I have learned the hard way) and it is so pretty and shimmery and fun! And the mat made by a scrap piece of my favourite paper made it even better. I love it when a vague idea turns out lovely!

Hey, you want some fun news? I designed a couple of stamp sets for WOW and they will be released in the June release together with two of Marion emberson's stamps (that are equally amazing). I got them in the mail the other day and they are so wonderful! I can't get over the fact that I made them. I feel like a proud mother showing her new baby ;) I so hope everyone will love them as much as I do. They are called Big Words and Flight of Fancy. Here's a sneak...

Loving Lawn Fawn

I've been excited to get my hands on some Lawn Fawn stamps lately. I just love their cute little critters, they are so much fun to color. I'll post another card on wednesday illustrating me getting a bit crazy with the coloring but that's then and for now I'll just show you these two cards.

This first one I made using the Let's roll set. I love sushi, there is probably no food as addictive as sushi once you get over the initial two tasts. I prefer mine without wasabi though but with lots of Soy. So this sentiment was just perfect :) I colored this using my Copics, I have not been practicing as much as I intended, I got swamped with other stuff. But yesterday I just relaxed and enjoyed some pretty easy coloring and this is the result.

For my other card I used the Blissful Botanical set. I white embossed the long border stamp a few times and then colored it using distress markers. I wasn't sure what to do next, I loved the result and the sentiments in the set was a bit to small for my card but then I found this hello die on my table and just went with it. Love the background, wish I had given the sentiment a bit more thought. Actually I wish I had one of the Lawn fawn Alphas, mine was either too big or too small for this card. I'll probably get one of the skinny ones on my next shopping spree ;)

I'll be entering the search for a Facebook inspiration team at Lawnscaping with these cards. Keeping my fingers crossed!

That's it for me today. Wednesday I think there will be three posts in my blog and I might squeeze in one for tomorrow so do stop by again for more inspiration :) Thanks for visiting!

The world is full of magic things...

When I use my Cameo to cut something out I often cut a bit more then I need. When I cut from white cardstock I usually fill the entire 12x12 surface with things that might come in handy. It is easy to color it to fit in with everything when needed. I had this text laying in my stash and wanted to use it for this weeks Hobbyworld post. I made my background with mist, texture paste and other color products and finished with a layer with Martha Stewart Gesso diluted with water to soften all the colors. I like the effect on this soft Prima paper.
