After Rain, Quotation Card no. #1 (Fairy Tale Challenge #142)


Hi everyone! :o)


Today a new challenge started at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog.

The theme for this fortnight is #142, Foto Bingo / Photo Bingo.



This time our lucky winner will win this adorable mini stamp set.




For this challenge I made this After Rain, Quotation Card. It's a decoration with a magnetic sheet on back.  I like this so much, I'll definitely make more of them. :o)



First idea was to make a greeting card. More I worked on it, less I wanted it to be the greeting card. :o)

I cut a white watercolor paper panel and typed quotation on a typewriter.

Images are layered. I stamped boots from Jane's Doodles 'Rain or Shine' stamp set and a bird from Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set directly on the panel and once more on a piece of watercolor paper. Then I colored images in watercolor technique using Distress Inks.

While images were drying, I colored a background in watercolor technique using Distress Ink. I added several layers of color and dried them between. When I was satisfied with the color, I splattered whole panel (with water, distress ink and white acrylic paint). 

Then I drew double line frame with fine black pen (0.4 mm), fussy cut colored images, colored edges with a black marker and glued them over stamped images on the panel. I added white highlights and the panel was finished.

At this point, my honey and I together decided we want to keep this for ourselves. :o)

I cut a rectangle cardstock base. This a recycled item. I cut it out from s watercolor paper pad package. I rarely throw away cardstock and try to reuse it for new projects or as a crafting mat. :o)

I colored the cardstock base with white acrylic paint and after it was dry I glued the panel on it. At the end I glued whole card on a magnetic sheet, cut it out and my quotation card /magnet was finished.




Dimensions:  88 mm x 126 mm (3 1/2" x 5")

List of supplies:
  • Jane's Doodles 'Rain or Shine' Stamp Set
  • Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' Stamp Set

Chinese New Year Panda Card II (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.com/

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down, or follow this link.


Today it's my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this Chinese New Year Panda Card II.


I used super cute 'Chinese New Year Panda' from 2013 January Panda Releases . This is my second card with this cute Panda. If you like, you can see the first one here and here. :o)

Details about my card...

Image is paper pieced.

I printed 4 images on a white cardstock paper. I draw circles around panda's eyes and colored it's muzzle with black permanent pen, colored a lantern with red colored pencil, fussy cut pieces I needed, colored edges with black marker and glued all pieces together. To create glossy accents, I covered lantern and panda's muzzle with clear gloss resin.

Using MS Word, I wrote sentiment in a Text Box (font white, background black), printed it, cut  it in a banner shape, colored edges with black marker and covered whole banner with clear gloss resin. Surface is crackled. This happened during drying and have no idea how it got crackled, but I LOVE it! :o)


For a card base, I used white cardstock paper. I splattered front panel with black Tempera Color mixed with water. To add more dimension to this one layer card, I glued both, image and sentiment, on 3-D foams and placed them on card. At the end, I added couple enamel stickers to brighten up my card. :o)

Card dimensions are 101 mm x 132 mm (4" x 5 1/4").

List of supplies:

Rainbow Snail Mail Card Set

Hi everyone :o)

Today I want to share with you a Rainbow Snail Mail Card Set. I made seven CAS (clean and simple), one layer cards and decorated seven bought envelopes to match cards.


First I draw paths and wrote word 'mail' with a pencil, traced all lines with Stabilo fine black pen, left all dry couple of minutes and erased pencil lines.

Then I stamped super cute snail from Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set directly onto card bases and envelopes. I stamped more snails on white 120 grams paper. From my experience, cardstock paper I use for card bases doesn't give good results when coloring on it with colored pencils, so I went with layering image stamped on paper over image stamped on cardstock.

I colored snails stamped on white paper with colored pencils, fussy cut them out, colored edges with black Stabilo Marker, and glued them over snails stamped on card bases. I also colored snails stamped on envelopes.

At the end I covered all snails, on cards and envelopes, with a gloss resin to create glossy accents.








All cards measure 101 mm x 133 mm (4" x 5 1/4") and envelopes 168 mm x 114 mm (6 5/8" x 4 1/2").

List of supplies: 


  • Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set
  • white cardstock paper
  • white paper (120 grams)
  • white envelopes (these were bought)
  • Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)
  • colored pencil (skin color)
  • Koh-i-noor woodless colored pencils 
    • Pyrrole Red 170
    • Reddish Orange 2
    • Chrome Yellow 1
    • Meadow Green 4
    • Cobalt Blue 6
    • Sapphire Blue 7
    • Lavender Violet 8
  • Stabilo Black Pen 88/46, fine 0.4
  • Stabilo Black Marker 68/46
  • gloss resin super clear
  • scoring board
  • trimmer
  • scissors
  • tweezers
  • polymer stamp handle (38 mm x 38 mm)
  • crafting needle

Bamboo Panda Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.com/

Hi everyone :-D 

My second post today and my 200th blog post! :-D

Today it´s my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this Bamboo Panda Card.




Details about my card...

I printed the image on a white cardstock paper. I stretched the image: I draw circles around panda's eyes and lines on a vase. Then I colored the image with colored pencils, fussy cut the image leaving white border around it and added gloss resin to panda's muzzle, on the vase and bamboo, to add dimension to the image and to create glossy accents.

Then I made a panel. I stamped sentiment 'hello' from Jane's Doodles 'Anemone' stamp set on watercoloring paper and colored the panel in Ink smooshing technique for coloring the background. I love this technique!!! :-D I used Stabilo markers, plastic pocket bag, water and bottle sprayer. I added some color on plastic pocket bag, sprayed it with water and smooshed color on the panel. I was adding color by color, couple of layers, drying them between. I don't have heat gun, so I use hairdryer for drying wet papers.

When I was satisfied with colors and pattern, I glued the panel on a white cardstock card base, glued 3-D foams behind the panda image and placed it on the card.


Card dimensions are 107 mm x 139 mm (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

List of supplies:
  • Kitty Bee Designs 'Good Luck Bamboo Panda' from 2013 January Panda Releases
  • Jane's Doodles 'Anemone' stamp set 
  • white cardstock paper
  • white watercoloring paper 
  • Koh-i-noor woodless colored pencils (Chrome Yellow 1, Meadow Green 4, Dark Green 5)

  • Stabilo Point Black 88/46, fine 0.4
  • Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen S (superfine) 0.4 mm
  • Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black) 
  • UHU universal glue 
  • 3-D foam self adhesive pads  
  • gloss resin super-clear
