Chill out and relax

Good morning folks, I hope you are having a great week so far. I know we have already made a start on the Christmas cards, but I'm not quite willing to give up the warmer weather yet. So today's card is all about that summer feeling.

For this card I used a stamp set from Creative Stamping magazine, issue 59, called Summer Holiday.

I stamped the main images onto plain white card and then stamped them again onto post-it notes to make masks. I cut the masks out by hand and then added them over my images so I could ink the background.

I used Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks, to make my sky and sandy backdrop.

Then I removed the masks and coloured the images with Copic Markers.

I added a sentiment that came with the image stamps, and then cut the panel with a Stitched Rectangle die from MFT Stamps Dienamics Blueprints 13. Then I added it to a bright yellow note card to finish.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Scandi Bear

Good morning folks, I hope you are having a good week so far, Today's card was a bit of a "let's see what this would look like" card, and I'm glad to say I really like it lol.

Well, all except the big crease in the top corner, which happened as I was putting the adhesive on to the back of the image to stick it on the card!!! oh well at least I know it looks nice and I can make some more 😏.

All of the stamps, including the polar bear and jumper are from last month's issue of Creative Stamping magazine. I wanted to see what it would look like all stamped in red, for a 'Scandi Christmas' feel.

I used Versafine Satin Red ink, which is a beautiful ink for detail stamping, on to cream card. 

Then I added a piece of deep red embossed card to a cream deckled edge card blank, and added the image on top. Very, very simple to make, but they do make lovely cute cards.

Hope you like it too, take care and I'll see you soon.
